I know I have been very quiet lately, but I promise I have been working very hard behind the scenes, and soon you will see the results!

This is not all the news I have. I have MORE NEWS THAN THIS.

But this is the fanciest thing that has ever happened to me as a writer,

SO FANCY!!
EW is one of my favorite magazines, and I'm thrilled that they covered you in it! You're certainly worthy of their attention!!!

Aw you are so sweet!

The cover is beautiful and atmospheric. I like how the city is casting a kind of chiaroscuro onto the title, although I could maybe do without the red.

The excerpt is also beautiful and atmospheric! Lucie (whose name, I realize, is from Dickens, but still, how perfect) has a lovely way of evoking the opulence (and menace?) of all that light.

I am looking forward to reading this one, and I hope it's a huge success for you. I hope the gorgeous cover - which seems designed to appeal to a broad audience, maybe? - and the fancy EW article mean that your publisher is really getting behind it!

My publisher is certainly most kind to get me the EW article, and it was a very surprising and very exciting thing for me. ;) I share your kind hopes and am very glad you enjoyed the excerpt, specially as descriptive writing is my bugbear!

I liked the excerpt. April now seems such a long way away...

It is far, isn't it? Maybe I will have somethin' to amuse you with in the meantime...
