ready, steady…
The countdown begins in earnest now as there’s only a matter of DAYS until publication of Dixie O’Day in The Fast Lane…
pre-order it from Waterstones here for a first edition to treasure!
The first copies for review are motoring their way to lots of different people, and lots of lovely compliments are winging their way back to us.
See this gorgeous little Vine movie from The Book Sniffer…
Meanwhile Mum and I are super-busy.
There are bookplates to sign…
and there’s racing-check-bunting to make…
thank goodness there’s still some of Clare’s Dixie jam left to sustain us!
AND there’s a rare chance to hear us both in conversation at Waterstones Piccadilly, our very first Dixie event, for grown ups, on Wednesday August 21st at 6.30pm. Tickets and info here.
Foot on the accelerator, raring to go…
TOOT TOOT!
It’s got a map in it!! Very exciting, can’t wait for a proper look…
Thanks so much Jane – we do love a map don’t we? It was quite a challenge to make sure it worked properly with the story: lots of little bits of paper sellotaped together, and lots of head-scratching… X
Bouncing up and down on my cushion in anticipation. Come ON August.
Thank you so much Polly – I do hope you like what you see when Dixie comes to call! X
What a lovely book! It looks like a real classic.
Ah, dear Anne, a ‘classic’ – what a lovely compliment, thank you! X
Are you seriously signing all these book plates?
We are! We sit at the kitchen table and sign them together, over a cup of tea and a chat… the only trouble is, Mum can go much faster than me! X
It looks like perfection! Hurrah and congrats and …oh just lots of love and happy thoughts xxx
Thank you dear James… I have been extremely lucky with my authors this year! 😉 X
We are hiphipping and hooraying even louder after reading this post! Counting down the sleeps until it’s here 🙂
How wonderfully kind, thank you Loll! It will be a proud-making moment to put a copy into your hand… I hope your chaps enjoy it! X
Ooo exciting times! Love that video! Love it!
Thank you Annie! Can’t wait to introduce you to Dixie, Percy and my Mum in real life! X
