Under the Knife

The Rise and Fall of a Female Surgeon

The books are on their way!

Yestersday I was at the glamorous FedEx distribution centre in Basildon to sign books for those of you who pledged for a signed copy. There's a special suprise for one of you - your book will say 'You're my favourite' :)

It was really emotional to read the names of every one of you who believed in me and my story and I cannot thank you enough.

The books are making their way back to the Unbound office and will be sent out next week. To make sure that you get yours, you MUST log in to your account and confirm your address (just in case you've moved house in the meantime).

Please feel free to share photos of the book and tag me too :) 

I'm discovering how book sales work and it's all about reviews, and I'll be asking you the week before the launch if you'd be kind enough to leave one for me. I'll send you links to Goodreads (before 6th July) and Amazon (after 6th July). I never used to leave a review - life was too short to go and click and type, but now I always do - and I'll tell you why next time.

There's one final favour I have to ask - and this is REALLY important. Please DON'T share the content of the book - the bits you liked, the bits you didn't, your favourite story or quote UNTIL July 3rd. The book is being featured in a national newspaper (I can't quite believe it) and it's all under embargo until then.

From 3rd July onwards you can say what you like, where you like :)

I'm taking my book to the Dolomites in Italy as I'll be cycling in the Mountains. I can't wait to see where my book ends up.
