Lost weekend and an important point

I don't remember much about the weekend. Something nasty - of the infection/viral sort - hit me - hard. I spent several days sweating, shivering and doing other unspeakable things in something of a haze. And yesterday I slept, opened my eyes, had some soup, slept again . . .

I lost a couple of days, hopefully I also lost a couple of pounds, and I'm completely behind with everything.

So while I catch up, there are just two things to say -

1. My apologies to the people who sent in questions for the Writers' Q&A - I have not forgotten you, it's just that life had rather conspired against me lately and I haven't had a moment to breath. And as I want to answer your questions thoroughly I need some time to do so. I promise I will get to your questions just as soon as I can.

and

2. If you are ordering the 12 Point Guide to Writing Romance from Amazon.co.uk , please make sure that you order 12PGTWR2 not 12PGTWR1. The sales for 12PGTWR1 keep going up - and as this is sold out all you'll get - eventually - is a message from Amazon saying they can't obtain this book for you. They probably won't move your order over to the 12PGTWR2, however logical that might seem. And so you'll be disappointed.

So please either follow the link from the sidebar to find the second edition - or go here where you will find the edition that is in print and in stock - and that way you'll get a copy. The edition with the white band across the front is the second edition - the one that doesn't have the white band, no longer exists.

If you have ordered the first edition, you need to go into Amazon and change your order.

And if you're ordering from a bookshop, you need to order the edition with the ISBN: 978-1842851319

Hope that helps.

Now I'm going to try and catch up a bit more. It's scary how much things mount up after just a couple of days.
