Thanks jdd

I'm still in pain which is why I've not been posting much. It has phases where it eases and then it just comes back. I am quite scared, considering how many years I had it before, but trying to stay positive.

I've been forcing myself to listen to music, which hurts, but it's for my own good because if I shelter myself from noise I will end up with a totally collapsed tolerance of sound so by exposing myself to as much sound as possible, I will quicken my recovery process.

This is what I did last time around and it took me a year of 'noise therapy' to recover! I am aiming to be better within a couple of months, hopefully!

Re the book, yes, I am really excited about it. My career is the only thing keeping me going at the moment.
It's also at my website www.novelbookshop.com and is available as an e-book too.

This morning I paid a website promotion company to advertise my site to 950,000 places on the net to increase my traffic.

I've also just been accepted by eBooks-Online.com and they are in the process of putting the e version on their site.

As well as this, I've got 2 publisher's fighting with me over who gets the publishing rights to the 4th edition of my vaccination book! I haven't decided yet, but will probably go with my existing publisher, depending on what kind of deal he offers me

I'm missing my kids, it seems like they've been gone forever, and I hate to say this, but I'm also missing my X. Ugh. I wish I wasn't. Don't think I will see any of them until September.

X will completely fruit when he gets back and realises my book is for sale all over the world, LOL.

I'm off out now to try and ignore this pain. There's a gala on at the local pub that I am taking DD4 to.

Jo.
