You make it sound so happy and friendly and even the trek around London enjoyable. I'm sure lots of other people will agree that you have done extremely well to get to the short list. I'm also really happy that Choc-Lit seems to be having great success and making their mark in the publishing world. I believe that is good news for all authors. Good luck with your follow on novels.Gwen Kirkwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17201272628774727921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3855283511538601375.post-66716061427275672432012-05-20T12:09:53.335+01:002012-05-20T12:09:53.335+01:00Thanks Liz and Christina for your responses.....it...Thanks Liz and Christina for your responses.....it's going to be a long time before we forget every moment.<br />I missed you there though, Jenny, hope the holiday was good??Linda Mitchelmorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10948518126405880012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3855283511538601375.post-75528301381652736782012-05-20T11:28:11.483+01:002012-05-20T11:28:11.483+01:00Definitely an amazing two days, Linda - so glad yo...Definitely an amazing two days, Linda - so glad you enjoyed it!
