Morning Oliver,
Just pre-ordered my copy of R&M 6. Am I the first? if so I should get a certificate. 🙂
I’ve just finished by second proof of my 6th novel and am now well chuffed and chillaxed about things. Mine won’t be out until 2016, though, as I don’t even have a cover yet.
No doubt we will hear from you again before Xmas, so take care.
BTW, what is ‘normal life’ for a writer? I’ll have to look-up how the greats did.
Best wishes.
Pat.
Morning Pat,
Thanks so much for your pre-order. Really appreciated, as always.
Sorry to report that you were not the first – that was me. I bought 100 copies as soon as it went live.
Good to know that you’re sounding calmer about your own imminent release. (Makes you sound like a kidnap victim. or chronically constipated!)) Writing isn’t life and death – it’s more important than that – we’re talking a form of immortality here. 🙂
I lost track of normal after my fiftieth birthday. In fact since then I’ve lost track of most things.: keys, wallet, where I live…
Have a great festive season with your family. Booze is the answer. Always was, alwasy will be.
Best wishes.
Hi Oliver,
Really disappointed I’m not the first. Always was a day late for the January sales. As for losing track of things, I think that’s called early onset dementia.
You and your family have a great Christmas, too, and an even greater New Year. My year’s ending on a high as all my work has suddenly been discovered: no jokes about old relics please. 🙂
Best wishes.

The early bird… something, something something.
Great news that your books are being downloaded. Long may it continue.
All the best! 🙂
Oliver,
I don’t think I’ll ever catch that big, fat, juicy one. Hope you do, though, so keep getting up early.
Pat. 🙂
