Nowadays some parents-to-be send pictures of their foetus as Christmas cards. So here's a Valentine's greeting to you all: me & my book baby ready to go to the doctor aka as literary agent.I met the agent last week in his office, and he said my book foetus is mostly fine. It just needs some minor medical attention. This involves making the letters from one character to another more subtle, and yes ... I still have to cut out some of my Nick Cave references ...
I'm almost there, ready for the next health check-up, the one where every chromosomic line will be scrutinized.
And I have to think of a new name for my book baby. Replacing Angel has to go. What do you think of Under My Lip or Stuff it up your lip!? I know it's a girl, but the name can be androgynous ...

Hi Lou! Thanks for crediting me as the photo snapper! ;-) I was so excited to see your manuscript that morning - and you know how badly I was dying to grab it from your hands and read it instead of boring old work!!!! But I think "Stuff It Up Your Lip" (my personal favourite title choice) when it's published and you've signed my copy!!!! X x x
