You've Got M@il

Your book ‘Vegemite Vindaloo’ has gone the rounds of the group (some anyway) and I still haven't read it. Good things come to those who wait.

Hey, I've looked in to this book for a while now, and I am starting to think that I might order it. Any idea where I could? I sure wish I had the abilities to write a book good enough to get published, but, like many others, I lack any of the talent required to do so. Anyway, I'm still contemplating whether or not to buy it.
See ya soon,

Hi Carol,

You've ordered the novel? I'm so humbled by your kindness. And the reason you didn't tell me was ...?

Do forgive my swollen head after this pride boost.

Cheers

Hi the chosen one,

Will check out your site. It has a familiar ring to it was it listed on the weekly blog awards here for a week or two?

I'd advise you to have a look at the synopsis of the novel first - that way you can see whether you want it or not. There is also a review of it at Cecilia's Dance with the Sun, as well as GS's ChummaChumma blog.

I had a post here sometime in May, with a link to these reviews, as well as to the sequel. From memory, the blogpost was titled `Shun Sign' and it was maybe three weekends ago, I'm guessing.

I'm glad you like the blog. It's just a bit of fun that keeps me occupied while I'm finishing off another novel for Penguin.

Nice of you to drop by. Really appreciate it.

Hi BTBear,

You've ordered my book? I am so grateful. I honestly don't know what to say. ...

I do hope the simple story leaves an imprint. I'd love to know what you think.

It sat on my computer for a few years, then my eldest daughter asked me if I was ever going to finish it - and that's how it came about. If she hadn't encouraged me to finish telling the tale, it would never have been on the bestseller list.

My very genuine thanks to you for ordering it ...

Keep smiling

David
