May the sixth be with you. Story of my life, too late.
Exciting news today as I met with the artiste par excellence, the one and only Hollie Hyde, the creator of the stockinged legs and high Louboutin shoes that is the 'Court of Contempt' cover. An outrageously talented artiste, she is also quite the wordsmith, taking the project very seriously and making sure colours, words and scale are all congruent. Her sketches are sublime. Her inspiration for the second cover is second-to-none. The cover is going to be something special, and I hope the barristers amongst you will appreciate the attention to fine detail.
Meanwhile, I have to confess that I have been a bit disillusioned with the name 'Court of Deception'. As some of you will know, I was ricocheting between that and the 'Court of Protection' under the umbrella title 'Family Division' series. Miss Hyde can take the credit, but the image she sketched does rather lend itself to a racier title. After a shot of strong caffeine and a jolly good brainstorm, the new title jumped out at us. Fanfare - ta da ta da daaaaaah…...
'JUSTICE PERVERTED'
I think it's a stunning title, so appropriate for the raunchy content I told you about and in keeping with the cover! Now I can't wait to publish it! That involves writing, of course. Hmmm, better get back to it then.
Another gorgeous day chez McGhee, and a trip down to the seaside beckoned. A big high five to the jobs worth traffic warden who appeared staring in at me through my windscreen, nearly triggering a coronary, and telling me I had to move on unless I bought a ticket. Alas, she was clearly running on GMT, as the payment time expired 30 minutes previously. Aw bless. I resisted the urge to flip the bird! She was just subjected to a smug but nonetheless deathly stare all the way back to her space ship!
And finally…..
Mark Selby won the World Championship Snooker title at the Crucible Theatre, Sheffield last night, beating Ronnie O'Sullivan 18-14. Told ya! Felicitations Selbers - give us a kiss xx
