It’s finally here! Today, February 4th 2010, is the official publication day for Invisible Fiends: Mr Mumbles.

Back when I started this blog – 4 days short of 2 years ago – I had no idea if the series was ever going to be published. I wrote the first post sitting on a train, on the way to Glasgow to meet with my then-prospective agent, Kathryn Ross. Soon after, Kathryn ceased to be my prospective agent, and became my actual agent. A few months after that, HarperCollins expressed their interest in Invisible Fiends. Not too long later, they took the series on.

And now here we are. Publication day. At last.

To those of you who have followed the blog right from the start, thank you. Your comments and emails have been a huge boost during those times I thought this was never going to happen.

To those of you just tuning into the blog now, welcome. Join in, comment, argue with me, even – I love hearing feedback from my readers, good or bad, so don’t be afraid to chime in.

And now I’m going to go and enjoy those rarest of treats – a day off. I am not going to write, I am not going to promote, I am not going to pitch my workshops to schools. I am going to relax, and I am going to enjoy this day. The day it begins. The day Mr Mumbles and my other creations are sent off out into the world to stand on their own two feet.

It’s a scary day, but then, scary’s what I do best…
