Thanks Philippa. It’s magical realism, so never going to be an easy sell, but I’m not giving up quite yet. At least I have that bit of paper from a professional saying it’s good that I can get out and stroke occasionally to console myself! Thinking about retiring my adventurous soul and writing some chick lit instead. :/

Hi Kate,
Sorry to,hear about those rejections 🙁
I’d love to know about your book. Sounds like it’s original, if nothing else! Publishing trends are changing all the time too, so I think you’re right about right person, right time.

And waving back – I hoped the geometric shape was you!
And, btw, any impressions of me sending a few well-blunted darts your way in the last couple of days can now be discounted – they’ve blossomed into blooms worth celebrating. 🙂

Interesting. Looks as though SocialGO’s main server for cached files, images, style-sheets (that define the look and layout) is down this morning. The Cloud will look fine if you haven’t cleared your browser cache lately or terrible if you have, or it’s of limited size and the Cloud stuff has been pushed out.

And now it’s back up, which (I think) means my guess about SocialGo is probably close to the truth. They haven’t shut down, but they aren’t bothering to support their side of the operation.

I think they more or less admitted this to Stephen Marks.

Another excellent blog, Richard. You got me to invest my beer-tokens in Keith Roberts and now it looks like I’ll be blowing the dust off my wallet for James Cabell.
