And it's still plowing on with Book 2 as more sales come in, which is a good thing I suppose. It'll keep me in fags and booze and out of trouble. I can't work out the whole Amazon sales rankings thing. I've tried to apply the pie formula that I was taught by Mrs. MacKenzie in 1990 (3.14 blah blah blah), and failed miserably (funnily enough). I suppose I won't know until my sales figures are submitted to my publisher. Until then, I can dream of topping the best-sellers list without actually having to face the harsh reality…
More good news to announce is that the fabulous Hollie Hyde, artiste par excellence, will be treating you all to another raunchy cover for 'Court of Deception', after her stunning artwork graced the cover of 'Court of Contempt'. I'm sure many sales have been achieved purely down to her genius. I can tell you that a blueprint has been drawn up. The scales make a welcome return, but the Louboutin shoes do not. Will it be Darya, Brett, Lucy or Neal on the cover?
Anyway, I have to admit that I'm still toying with the idea of naming the second book 'Court of Protection'. The thought of my tome in law libraries and on judicial benches makes me chuckle. I'll get over it soon, promise.
Batten down the hatches today. It's a windy one. I've already seen a parasol that was left out after the unseasonably mild weather blowing around as if it has just dropped Mary Poppins and she has left it outside the nursery open and exposed to the elements.
Darya would be excited this afternoon as it's Heineken Cup semi-finals this weekend, even though neither match features her beloved Montpellier. Saracens v Clermont at Twickers is a tough one to call, but I reckon 'Les Jaunards' may just squeeze out an away victory (a rare event for a French team, although that is changing these days in a most competitive Top 14 domestic league). Tomorrow we have Toulon v Munster at the Stade Velodrome, Marseille. Are Toulon sans Jonny Wilkinson? That could be a decisive factor. I think Munster may be more powerful in the scrum, but watch out for Toulon's flying backs, and Steffon Armitage at open side flanker is having a champagne season. So I pick a 'tout francais finale' for the European Cup. Am I right?
See you on the other side of another mammoth writing session! Enjoy your Saturday. I've developed a taste for cucumber flavoured water. It clears your skin, and you can use the slices at the bottom of the glass to put on your tired, Mac-weary eyes. Result!
