Woo, and may I add, Hoo?

Because today is release day. Release of what, I hear you ask? We-ee-eell...

First up is my very first paperback novel! Yes yes, all those Beatles tapes my parents played until they went wobbly in the heat when we drove to the south of France finally paid off (unlike this sentence). I am a paperback writer! I, Spy? is available to buy from all kinds of juicy places, like Amazon (US, UK, or whereverelse you fancy), Barnes & Noble, WHSmith, Blackwell...take your pick. BTW, WHSmith have a 3for2 offer on...so you can buy several copies. Or, you know, other titles too, if that floats your boat.

Is it in shops yet, you ask? I'm glad you did. Because if you see one in a shop, anywhere in the world, anywhere at all, I want you to take a photo of it and send it to me (the photo, not the book. I have a couple of those, and besides, I know how it ends). So far, I haven't seen it anywhere, but you know what people, we need to start a campaign. Go into your local bookshop and ask, no, demand that they stock it! In case their computer keyboard doesn't understand the complex punctuation in the title, or my unbelievably common name (I begged my parents to call me Margolotta. Actually, that's a direct lie), you can give the crafty bookseller the ISBN number. They use that number, they can order it anywhere in the world. They really can, so don't take no for an answer!

Okay, that ended up being a really long paragraph. My dear editor would probably go nuts.

Reason number two is a second release! Following the critical acclaim I recieved for I, Spy? and Ugley Business (yes, the topographical spelling), the third book in the Sophie Green series of mysteries is now available as an e-book. You can buy it from My Bookstore and More or various other e-book outlets (no, it's not free. Sorry. I need the royalties to buy shoes. I mean, food for my starving babies. And pay their vet bills too).

Okay, still with me? Excellent. Go forth and buy! Remember I'm impoverished, so the more copies you buy, the more shoes...I mean, vet bills, I can afford.
