In which I make my mum proud...

I received my autographed copy (Thanks for that Jo!) in the mail today. Now I am trying to think of a suitable sign so that I can add to your "world tour." :p
 
The Masters would have been good! But would have had to take it outside of the course. No cameras or cell phone permitted! It was weird to see 30,000 (guessing) people walking around with no one holding her hand to her ear, or walking around with a blue tooth head set. ---- Sure wasn't that way in the Atlanta airport!

You and me both. Thinking of where I live and there really isn't any landmarks noteworthy enough... I live in such a boring city. :cry:

I still need to get myself a copy of the book even... :eek:
 
And in which I might make her wince.... This is the Sunday newspaper article for those not in Ireland. The headline made me giggle and my husband laugh out loud, but the rest of it is a good plug:

In the newspaper even. It's incredible how much the community is getting involved. Is this normal, or is there some magic going on here?

Ireland is quite supportive of local talent, so it's not unusual to be in local papers and what not. But this is one of the national Sunday papers and no, that's not usual. Nor was the Culture NI listing. But I have put a lot of work into local events and the bookstores are supporting me so that's raised my profile a bit. I'd say, locally, I have quite a lot of goodwill and am getting tweets and what not from people who have been buying it locally. :)

My eyesight not being what it once was** (was it ever...?), I'm having trouble seeing which particular paper has printed the story. On the assumption that it produces an online version (one that's not hidden behind a paywall), could you please tell us which one it is?


** - Or, perhaps, my reading skills are at fault (in case it's been mentioned elsewhere in the thread).
 
Jo, your husband wasn't the only one who laughed out loud! So did I. Some proof reader needs to look at the whole picture!! But great piece of promotion.
 
I think both of you are over thinking it. --- The Headline does not go with the picture above it, nor does it go with the article below it. ---- I am now worried, or is this the way continental publishers set their papers up? ---- Parson looks at the title again. Palm to forehead! It is supposed to be Jo talking!..... Aren't headlines supposed to be descriptive? "Jo Zebedee pens Dark S.F. Debut Novel," or some such? ---- Parson thinks further, "Hm, isn't that type of headline like something you would see on the National Enquirer?" A kind of half truth to shock someone into reading the article? ---- Oh, well, I guess I've made a fool of myself. ---- At least it was good publicity.
