A great end to the year!

30th December 2009 by Helena 10 Comments  

Hello all and THANK YOU for such encouraging words from my lovely blog-readers. I just received this from my favourite publisher, Martin Rynja at Gibson Square…

“Hi Helena, you spake too soon on blog. I have been reading your novel (and so has Debora who helps me with some editorial stuff) and we both love it (though I have not been able to finish it to the end yet, as I am a slow reader) and I would love to publish it.”

So we’re off! Yippeeee! And tomorrow I interview Rafael Nadal, what joy. How could 2009 possibly get any better?

    My sincere congratulations for your continued successes. Every scribble is such a joy, and now of course from the next generation.
    I search daily for your latest outpouring as such a refreshing respite from the inane twitterings of the Jones creature in my sadly dumbing down Daily Mail. May the HFP flag continue to fly high from wherever you are happiest. Phillip
