I Sold a Book!!

 

It turns out I did sell a book at the York Book Fair!  Hurray!!  I rushed through to the kitchen on Tuesday morning to where Captain Butterfly was flying the coffee machine, to tell him of my triumph.  How are we going to celebrate? What will we spend the money on?  The champagne is on me.

"We could have a winegum", he suggested.  But, realistically, I think it will have to be half each.  However, I am so pleased.

The book sold was Disraeli Hall, which is a thriller (I hope) based around the two houses of my childhood - with a mysterious death having occurred at the dark at the foot of the second staircase of the Hall itself (which is bigged-up from my Granny's rambling old Nabbs Cottage).

There is also a possibility that some of us Fantastic authors will have some EBook sales too, as a lot of people asked about them - and they are all available in that format.

Penny's blog about it - with some great photos - and a useful tip for all train travellers - is here:

We had our family Zoom session on Monday morning, after my usual Zoom with local friends.  John lives in Sydney, so we were talking about the recent attack on Bondi Beach.  He said that it was a very hot day, so the beach was even more crowded than usual, which may have been why there was such a tragically high casualty rate.

The "increasing of lawlessness" is being seen everywhere. And it will help so much if we know that this is the darkest hour before the dawn. And it will be such a wonderful dawn when it comes.

And how important it is that we read, understand, and stay in harmony with the perfect advice in Psalm 37 as Satan's system goads us and turns us against each other as never before.
