I do know him and exactly what makes him tick. I feel a bit sad since he admitted he loves me again as it seems such a pointless waste.
You should have seen him reading the love scenes, he was sitting there with this wistful smile on his face. I wanted to cry, instead I was telling him it had to be over.
Also DD2 was calling me Linda (EX-OW's name) instead of mummy, so that made me feel bad. I told DD2 to call me Jo if she didn't want to call me mummy.
DD1 did bring my washing in because it was raining so that was nice.
I am going to change their names in the book to Kristina (DD1's second name - named after our mothers), Geraldine (Geri - DD2's real name is Jerri so it's similar), Lara (DD3 is called Lucia so it's similar, plus if I ever have a DD5 I would want her to be called Lara because I love the name) and DD4 I am leaving as it is as I spelt her name Alisha instead of Alicia so that's okay.
I am also publishing in my married name. I was never known by my married name even in the M. It feels weird now to use it after the D when I never used it before. Actually, X used to go by my Greek name when we were together and he changed his name after we separated.
He was very surprised to see the book cover with his surname on the front and asked me why I wasn't printing the same name as my other books. I told him it was so people wouldn't necessarily know who I am. I think he liked this.
Other news: also found an email from DD1 in my inbox that she apparently sent 2 days ago and my website is now back online - it's not finished yet but it's online!!!
