The girls are totally and utterly obsessed with some game on the internet where you have a flat and pets and move your furniture around and go to sleep. My question is this: why not just play in a real room as opposed to a virtual one? Maybe it is because in a virtual world they are in total control?
Or they could even go outside. The weather is lovely at the moment. There is a cool breeze and warming sun, it is hard to imagine how hot and unpleasant it gets, right now it feels like paradise.
The novel is progressing. Not the writing, obviously, that comes last. But there is already interest from the US publisher of Two Lipsticks and a Lover, heaven knows how they heard about it. And Martin my publisher and I are back to our old habits of emailing each other at strange times of the night with “brainwaves”. When Rupert found me on my BlackBerry at 6am this morning responding to an email Martin sent in the middle of the night he quickly decided to go and play golf. “I can’t believe you two are back together,” he sighed.
Martin’s publishing assistant had come up with another title: Sex and the Chateau. I am not mad about it, but do see the need to make the title a little more intriguing and sexy than Lost in France. I came up with Three Lovers and a Vineyard, but we’re open to ideas….Meanwhile I need to get back to writing, or it will be a virtual book.

Ah yes, the virtual life!
Mine love the Sims, the first version of which was bought years ago in a desperate bid to entertain a French student who was staying here for a few days.
I’m not mad about Sex and the Chateau either- I can see its appeal, but I think far more highly of your writing than that.
Give me time…I’ll be back with suggestions!
Sex and the Chateau is not your style, scratch that one!
I like “Three Lovers and a Vineyard”…”High Heels in the Vineyard”? (not sure if it goes with your story but I totally picture you wearing Louboutins in the French country 😀 )
By the way, tell Martin we need your books in Canada! Delivery fees from the UK are expensive…
How about
My crowded marriage in France, or
Une, deux, trois – is too much in one marriage.
( Like princess Diana said “her marriage is too crowded”, after her husband admitted having affair).
I`m not sure if this is inappropriate, but to Patricia in Canada:
