    Brilliant, MM. My best friend's daughter had this for 6 years. She's looks healthy now but she is still so thin...

    This is good news MM. What is the ISBN for your book?
  • CarolCarol
    Just in case it is a while before MM has time to answer, I checked our library reference for the ISBN: 1905170351.
  • Stan2Stan2
    Thanks Carol.
  • RosalieRosalie
    That's wonderful, MM. Will indeed order it.
  • lexialexia

    Morning Clever Clogs,

    You really are doing well, I wish you success and more reprints. {May I have your autograph, ready to show my great-grandchildren, to prove that I knew such a famous woman?}
  • KangarooKangaroo
    Well done MM! :-)
  • Celtic CCeltic C

  • MutleyMutley

    Lexia said that we should be buying it rather than getting it from a library. Well said! Writers only get about 5p from a library book. If everyone was a miser and only borrowed books or purchased them second hand, the publishing industry would grind to a halt. Not good news for aspiring authors.

    How about buying it AND requesting that the library buy it. That makes two sales + PLR.

    Congratulations and *hugs* MM. This reprint is timely, and your writing certainly deserves to be out there, it has the potential to bring hope and support to a lot of people.

    Candy, true: authors get 5p per book but more accurately, it's per borrowing. Thus it's a long term, useful investment--though government's trying to cut it down to 2p-ish per borrowing much to the disgust of many people.

    Not sure how our main library is working now, but I know in the past I have asked about a new book and been told it is not been got in, or they are on the list for discussion on whether it will be bought- which could be months away before it becomes available.
