That was then

and this is nearly two months later ... since my last post I was given the opportunity to go to the London Book Fair and it's been action stations ever since. I leave on Wednesday and am going armed with seven South African books to market - one published the rest not - but all fab reads. I was invited by Colleen Higgs of Modjaji books, publisher of the wonderful novel Whiplash and a small host of other great titles. She's only been going for two years, but people are really sitting up and taking notice. So it seems that I am slipping sideways into becoming an agent - I'm not sure how the hat will fit, but am wearing it for now to see. Modjaji is an African rain queen, so here's praying that she will shower her blessings upon us!
