Thanks Lou, Bruce and Wez

I've been looking at the report all day, in total shock (NICE shock). I am so excited, I want to tell H, but of course I am supposed to be 'grey' so I'm not doing non-essential contact at the moment.

It has taken all my strength not to call him. He didn't really like the idea of the book but now it's happening, I challenge even him not to be impressed!

My friends are amazed and keep saying if I get rich, can they move in with me, LOL.

I LOVED the way that editor worded it, especially the 'experience transformed into art' bit - that is SO flattering! I am even more flattered because he's a male reader and I was obviously writing from a female perspective so for him to think it was an 'extraordinary story' is so great.

Gabriel reviewed a small page sample of it as well and his remarks are going on it, so watch out, Gabe, you will be famous! (hey, your W will definitely want you then ).

They reckon publication will take 6 or 7 months so I'm looking at Christmas or New Year as a release date.

It will be available in the US as well as here.

Be careful, though, some scenes are VERY distressing and it has stuff like rape, domestic violence, self-harm and things like that as well as the court drama.
Plus the romance is VERY romantic, i.e, graphic sex scenes and some strong language.

It is all true; it's my life, but it isn't for the faint hearted or those of you who get extremely upset easily - so just take author's friendly warning before purchase!

Of course, I want you all to buy one so then I can buy a bigger house, LOL.

I ended it with the ILY thing that I told you about on here. Thought that was a nice way to end a book.

Jo.
