  • With a dozen sparkling and highly entertaining entries already posted I know I’m only making it harder for myself to choose, but feel obliged to point out that there’s still five days to go before the deadline.

  • Bringing a gun into a house changes it. The fear that used to coil in your stomach like writhing vipers has stilled. No need to jump at every squeak and clonk. Now, a strident voice in the street or the sound of smashing windows makes you smile. A slow, secretive smile.

    You think it’s power, and the gun feels like it. The slick weight in your h…[Read more]

    Please would you send it to France, Sandra. I’ll PM you my address and it would be easier for me to do a trasnfer if you don’t mind PMing me your bank details.

    @Athelstone, @JaneShuff, @GippsGirl re posting Step so grave, if I’ve interpreted the Royal Mail site right (and often I don’t) it’ll cost £7.65 to send to France, £3 for the UK, plus, say 75p for P&P so, Jane, if you have a UK address that’ll still be cheaper than Blurb. (My profit per book is 78p, not £1.30 – maths never my strong point!- so I…[Read more]

    Thanks Robyn, I’ll gladly sign and send you one but hopefully it’ll save you money rather than reward me because Blurb charge an embarrassing (to me) £6.99 p&p for a single book. I’m profiting by ~£1.30 per book, which is fine because I’m not after making money, just getting it out to those friends who have expressed an interest (and much p…[Read more]

    Brilliant! Let me know about the P&P and I’ll send you a cheque. If it’s hideously expensive to send to France, I’ll get it sent to my sister, or one of the sons…

  • Sandra replied to the topic DIY soapbox in the forum Podium 7 years ago

    Jane, I’d be delighted to sign and send you one, how much would be the £7.95 + p&p. I’ve not yet got the order back and would need to go to the post office to find out what it costs. Will let you know.

  • Sandra replied to the topic DIY soapbox in the forum Podium 7 years ago

    Thanks Janette, it didn’t work out as expected, but what book does?

  • Sandra replied to the topic DIY soapbox in the forum Podium 7 years ago

    Thanks, Bella, have to say I’m glad to have finally got there!

  • JaneShuff replied to the topic DIY soapbox in the forum Podium 7 years ago

    Congratulations, Sandra! I was going to order a cpy but would love to have a signed one. Can I order one too? Let me know how much.

  • Sandra replied to the topic DIY soapbox in the forum Podium 7 years ago

    Thanks Kaz.

    PS Bought myself a range of nit and head louse treatments and am doing a different one everyday plus washing everything I’ve been in contact with everyday. I can’t bear the thought of giving them to him…

    • Oh, bless you! All I can say is that from experience in school (we were lucky – yes, we had nits at times, but managed to get on top of them pretty quickly by just wet-combing with a nit comb) if they keep coming back, there’s a source somewhere that you’re coming into regular contact with. In our case, a girl in the class who…shall we say that…[Read more]

    I am now at my Dad’s looking after him for a week. I am trying to write a bit and I do have the time but other things tend to crowd into my head. Mainly how happy I am to have this time with him while he still knows me and how lovely my OH is with him. I’m sitting here supposedly writing the villain revelation scene of my WIP but I can’t help…[Read more]

    Shame … I’ll check out postage costs. Or better still, hope to arrange a meet up; it’s been far too long.

  • Sandra replied to the topic DIY soapbox in the forum Podium 7 years ago

    When IS it? It would be good to catch up

  • Athelstone replied to the topic DIY soapbox in the forum Podium 7 years ago

    Oh well, it won’t be the same at York without you 🙁

  • Sandra replied to the topic DIY soapbox in the forum Podium 7 years ago

    I’ve not booked for York but depending on dates could certainly deliver to anyone interested – good idea, in fact, but we’re in Orkney 5-14th …

  • Athelstone replied to the topic DIY soapbox in the forum Podium 7 years ago

    Will you have copies at York? I definitely want it signed!

    Eight years ago I signed up for NaNoWriMo 2011 with plans to write a murder mystery (a genre I then knew little of).

    I had a title. An idea: a cruise ship on which brides were bumped off to order. I had back stories for a dozen honeymooning couples; for ship’s crew and owners (some good, some bad). Best of all I had DI Luke Darbyshere and c…[Read more]
