Different authors do it differently and each of us do it in whatever way suits us. I didn't do anything like this with my first two books - just a few events that other people set up for me. But, trust me, when you care as much about your book as you have to after the effort of writing it, you will do anything that occurs to you and you won't even think about it.<br /><br />Donna - happy birthday on June 15th (I will try to remember to think of you!) and thanks for ordering Deathwatch. Happy birthday to your teenager, too! (I think you may need my teenage brain book, Blame My Brain...)<br /><br />Lynn, could you suggest chocolate to my publishers, please? Praise and a small amount of money, no problem.<br /><br />Vanessa - the pic you took of my feet last night: hope you're not going to do anything nasty with it! Yes, guys, Vanessa was on her knees photographing my feet. Some booksellers have no dignity at all. I may need to blog about this ...Nicola Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12189894289540344094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5519912440753252776.post-22884617423257750382009-06-03T23:12:52.675+01:002009-06-03T23:12:52.675+01:00All this sounds utterly amazing and downright terr...All this sounds utterly amazing and downright terrifying. I really admire you Nicola. I could not do what you are doing. I am seriously wondering if I should just stop trying write. No, the blog is too much fun and my young neighbour will not leave me in peace until I have written the next book for her benefit. <br />Congratulations on your courage - I really mean that.catdownunderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06959328192182156574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5519912440753252776.post-2314932708822255122009-06-03T21:46:27.559+01:002009-06-03T21:46:27.559+01:00What a brilliant idea, and bravo to Nicola for hav...What a brilliant idea, and bravo to Nicola for having such respect for her target audience. <br /><br />The Deathwatch Dash takes place on my birthday! I will cheer you on from the other side of the world with champagne, fabulous boots, chocolate and an order for the book.

And as for the Deathwatch Dash - I'm rather hoping that the girls have secured the recipe for Lynne's chocolate margaritas as I think that will keep us going far better than straight Dairy Milk!Vanessahttp://www.fidrabooks.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5519912440753252776.post-16832789575762206482009-06-03T17:06:52.778+01:002009-06-03T17:06:52.778+01:00Nicola, darling, you are a publisher's dream c...Nicola, darling, you are a publisher's dream come true.

Most people think I...Thanks very much, both of you. Most people think I'm mad, but you seem to think I may not be (or else you're too nice to say so). I take the view that if you trust people (of any age) and expect a lot from them, they usually come up with the goods, and since teenagers are used to NOT being trusted they tend to respond even better than adults. Tomorrow, I'll send your comments to the pupils (and they haven't seen what i wrote here either yet) and they'll like that you thought it was a good idea. I don't think they've got round to thinking what other adults will think of it. I suspect they're taking it all in their stride and not even realising how special what they've done is.<br /><br />No time to proof-read that - doorbell gone.<br /><br />And thanks, Jane!Nicola Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12189894289540344094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5519912440753252776.post-86701814813790561672009-06-03T14:26:43.401+01:002009-06-03T14:26:43.401+01:00Yes, what a fantastic idea!
