My ex-prof likes Charity's Child!

You know, there are some people you really dread showing your book to. The professor of my former university department in Dundee is one of them. He's a very nice guy, but still... Anyway, he ordered a copy so I couldn't very well refuse. Been holding my breath ever since...

Good news just received is that he likes it: "Couldn't put it down". I'm so chuffed!

Now my next novel is set in a university department just a tiny bit like his (all the usual provisos...), so I'm even more nervous about when he comes to read Low Tide, Lunan Bay...

    Yes Rosalie I can see how that would be nerve-racking so you must be thrilled. Well done!

    Congratulations on a good review from someone whose opinion you value.

    (If he knows the theme of your next book, he might be more nervous than you!)

    Well done! I wouldn't worry - if he liked Charity's Child, he'll probably like Low Tide, Lunan Bay.

    Well done, Rosalie! Ask him if he minds you using it and his name for a quote for interviews etc.

    Caro, it was Circaidy Gregory Press. One of the small indies. I was very impressed - they gave me lots of great editorial advice.

    Good news Rosalie- onward and upward.

    Maybe he'll insist on it being stocked in the university shop...
