One of the best days of my life - certainly memorable thanks to a fellow author who advised me to stay off the pop - with two of the people who helped send Bera out into the world. You can see by the way I'm cradling the book how important it is to me. On the left is John Mitchinson, one of the co-founders of Unbound, and on the right is Liz Garner, my editor. With their insightful comments and encouragement I've cracked on with the first draft of Book Two (called Obsidian at the moment) which is entirely set in Ice Island. Watch this space for the launch!
