I saw a link here on Twitter this morning and have had to wait until lunch to jump in. :-)<br /><br />Kerry - firstly congratulations! Your book sounds excellent, and I love your bio. I also love - love! - the title, and totally agree that titles either feel right or they just don't. Yours feels perfect. Good luck with everything! <br /><br />Dan - hello! Great interview. :)Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11309191526500602452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2942294427695379658.post-22088475353137541672012-07-31T14:28:59.888+01:002012-07-31T14:28:59.888+01:00Thanks for visiting, everybody!

It's a pleasure to host this leg of it.<br /><br />Alison - I don't know how common it is for agents to even look at short stories.
