If you are shy why not use pic of your partner/kids/brother/sister/favourite cartoon character/George Bush/a VW Beetle ... anything please.

I haven't started pitching my book to agents yet. I find the whole process very time consuming as most won't consider emails. Last time I was getting manuscripts returned that quite obviously hann't even had the pages turned. I tried Darley Anderson last time and got a rejection, but my new book is very different and better written, so I'll give them another try, maybe you could put a word in for me. Recent reports seem to confirm that the business is a bit of a lottery - 800k book deal for Matt Hilton after being rescued from the slush pile by his agent's wife - hmm?

Why dont you try my agent Darley Anderson he is always looking for new people.

My regular is Clark's Bar over in Canonmills.

Where in Leith took your tipple?

Yeah, it's pretty cold today again here in Leith, but at least there are no hailstone showers like there were on Friday! I almost thought it was January!

Cheers!

I go to some of the Bodies in the Bookshop events in Heffers but not out and about much at the moment as I'm snowed under with work. Let me know if you're going to one and I'll try to get there,

cheers, Alison
