I have just replied to my first piece of fan mail. How insane is that?!
The email came from a lovely woman called Sandra Markovic in Germany, who is currently reading the German edition of the book. It’s a fantastic feeling – if a very strange one – that someone in another country is reading the little story that popped into my head several years ago, and that they’re enjoying it. Let’s hope she doesn’t change her mind by the time she gets to the end!
The whole experience of the book being out is still a bit surreal, to be honest. Yesterday, a girl at a school I was visiting came over to me with a copy of the book and asked me to sign it for her (hello, Paige!). It caught me completely off guard, and I’m still utterly bemused as to why anyone would want my signature on anything.
Obviously I’m absolutely delighted that people enjoy the book enough to want it signed, but I wonder if I’ll ever stop feeling vaguely embarassed every time I do it?
