Something quite exciting has been hatching over the last few weeks and it's not chickens which we all know you mustn't count before they're hatched.
Dovebook_2_2I have a book deal.
It's a book of my very own about books, my love of books, my favourite books and authors and a lifetime of reading them and much more (hopefully) some snippets from the blog and all to be published in a real actual book between two covers by Long Barn Books.
Why let the octogenarians in this family have all the fun?
I'm really looking forward to this because I've spent my life saying I don't have a book in me and suddenly, well I've been convinced that perhaps I do.
I'm on holiday from work this week and have some time to "think" about it, so I've done a bit of that.
Then I have to plan it... that bit's lagging behind a  fraction.
Then I have to write it...hmm, well all in good time, thank goodness for patient and understanding publishers.
Thanks to Ruth for that little picture which has been waiting a long time for exactly the right moment to fly onto the page.
