Hi,

I’ve stolen my blog back from Christo (and Natalie, apparently) just briefly to say that I’ve sent off the books to the winners from weeks one, two and am just finishing up week three.

If you commented on a blog piece in week three, you should also just hit the ‘contact me’ link at the bottom of the page and send me your name and address. Some people put them in comments, but if you would prefer not to (and I generally would prefer not to) sending it to me via the contact link means I will have it. Otherwise, I don’t get your email address, so I have no way to contact you to ask you for it so I can send you a book.

The response has been really good — and I’m delighted to be supporting the US postal service sending out all these books. I hope that those who receive them will enjoy them and maybe will find a new author they like or at least a book they will have enjoyed.

I’m getting the finishing touches on the cleaned-up house prior to Sol’s arrival. All things knee-level and below have been vetted for chew-ability and put up high if they don’t pass muster.

Also doing the line-edits and copyedits of George’s book which have to be returned next week. As if I’ll be doing them when I could be playing with Sol. Maybe Christo would like to do them, too, along with standing in for me here! I’ll have to ask him.
