What a weekend at the Edinburgh Festival! Went to see Nick Doody last week and spotted Keith from 'The Office' and Simon Amstell ...

... but yesterday, armed with my bookcrossing registered books, we arrived for another binge on the fringe. Saw 'The Coma', a play adapted from a Alex Garland novel. Then sauntered over to Charlotte Square to take a look at the very stylish book festival and had a talk from the bloke who wrote the 3rd series of 'Cold Feet'. If that wasn't enough, we then went to see Adam Hills who was hilarious. Well worth a ticket if you're in the area.
So why, I hear you cry do I have a picture of Christine & Neil Hamilton holding my book? Well, as we were stood in line waiting to see 'The Coma', the Hamiltons were having a general chat to people in the Pleasance theatre. With book in hand, I asked Christine if she would be kind enough to give it a go. It was all very rushed and I wish I'd had time to speak to them for longer but the doors were closing to the entrance of the play. Needless to say they were both very approachable and pleasant and I hope either of them finds time to read it.

Cor blimey! I sent a long letter to Richard & Judy enclosing a copy of Worlds Apart and was muchos surprised to receive a telephone call last week to say that they're considering using it for the next series.

I'm trying not to get my hopes up but the thought that it might just happen is toooo huuuge to even contemplate.

I appreciated the phonecall anyway!

Worlds Apart is on the other side of the world. This is Sian in Australia giving the thumbs up to the latest book. Cheers Sian.

I've also been registering some of the first draft copies of 12 months on bookcrossing.com and intend to give them out at the Edinburgh book festival.

For those of you asking, Digging Deeper is about a third done and I'll be getting back on the case this week. I'm hoping to be somewhere near completion by the end of the year ...
