When the delivery man knocked on my door at nine o'clock this morning I could have kissed him.I restrained myself. Instead I took a deep breath and ripped open the top of the cardboard box and there it was - The Letters - my book. Look - there's my thumb - it must be real!
I've been dreaming of this moment since I was seven, when I made my own books by stapling folded paper together and designing my own covers.
Anna and Em at Snowbooks have made a truly beautiful book inside and out, and the quotes they've chosen from Caroline, Jacqui and Susan are perfect.
I'm not a huge fan of hardbacks, but having seen how modestly sized and lovely this one is I'd suggest you might want to treat yourself so you don't have to wait until March for the paperback. You can get it direct from Snowbooks (worldwide delivery) if you want to be sure of receiving it before Christmas, or for a discount from Amazon UK or Amazon US (it should be available there soon fingers crossed).
Thank you Snowbooks. Happy Fiona. I feel like Snoopy did when he did his dance.

A fantastic achievement. Congratulations.
Caroline - I'll have another chance when the proofs for The Blue Handbag come through... maybe I'll work my way up to it!

Ah, but is the postman as stunning as the book? Congratulations again, Fiona.
Unfortunately not....
