Lessons in Desire - review and total gobsmackery

[charlie_cochrane]

"Fans of historicals, mysteries, and sweet romance should pick up Lessons in Desire." joyfully reviewed

So I ring up the Jersey library to ask some questions about parish titles I need to clarify for the re-edit of Lessons in Desire. By the end of the conversation, they've asked me to send them a copy of the book.

Me: "Would you like it signed?"
Lovely lady: "Yes, then we can put it in our display case. And do come and see us when you're next in Jersey."

Am dead.

FAME!

May I touch you?

congrats on both, dear!

If it happens (and I'll only believe it when I see it - seems too good to be true) then you can hug me let alone touch me.

Thanks toots.

It was when this wonderful lady started talking about how they were having John Nettles visiting them next month about a book he's writing that I thought I might be dreaming it all.

*mwah*

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE for you.

Awesooome! And other words to which I will give extraneous vowels!

*a million hugs*

EEEE! Lovely!

[charliecochrane.livejournal.com]

I think I'm in a state of utter shock!

*mwah*

[charliecochrane.livejournal.com]

Oh, thank you so much. I mean, even if it's just a case of a copy ending up in their library it's just so much more than I'd hoped for.

Bet you a Pimm's and lemonade you'll be seeing a display case come August, with the lovely lads front and center.

*mwah*

[charliecochrane.livejournal.com]

I'd be as red as that Pimm's if it happened.

What can I bribe the daughters/Pierre with to get a photo? :D

[mylodon.livejournal.com]

You think they need bribes?

*g* I shall have to get the husband to take me to Jersey now, so I can go and worship at the shrine!

Well done, you! :D

[jess-faraday.livejournal.com]

Wow! Yay!

[charliecochrane.livejournal.com]

LOL.

I really can't imagine this happening, but it's a nice dream. even if they just hide the book away somewhere (they only know it's part of a mystery series, set in edwardian times, with two male detectives...)

[charliecochrane.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[tamara-allen.livejournal.com]

Wow. Be sure you take a picture of it so we can see it. In the display case. I would be dead,too. :D

[jestana.livejournal.com]

SQUEE! That's fabulous news! *applauds and glomps* Congratulations!

[semyaza.livejournal.com]

How wonderful! :D

[charliecochrane.livejournal.com]

If it gets as far as a display case, I'm taking a hundred pictures! Will get one of middle daughter looking inane next to it.

*mwah*

[charliecochrane.livejournal.com]

Hey, thank you. If it all comes off, it'll be brilliant.

[charliecochrane.livejournal.com]

Thank you. It has potential to be fandabidosie.

[jestana.livejournal.com]

It's brilliant now! *glomp*
