My mum single-handedly running my promo campaign. In Sainsbury’s, just ran into a woman who used to work in mum’s local bank: ā€˜Hi Sue! Silvia’s book comes out in April! Silvia Saunders! Look out for it!’

She also told me she saw one of my old school teachers at her church and passed her a handwritten note to share my news and to say ā€˜thanks for being a great teacher’ 🄲

So excited to have Grace as my agency sister! I’ve been lucky enough to read early versions of her novel and - believe me when I say - it is going to be HUGE! šŸŽ‰

David’s taking my ā€˜author pic’ tomorrow. He’s given me a 2 hour time slot and I’m already panicked. What should I wear? What face should I do? Is this the time to try out a mermaid waver? (For context, in my work lanyard photo - which I’ve had for YEARS - I have one eye closed.)
