A Secret Alchemy
So here it is. A great moment...
I should say that this isn't the final cover, which has been delayed, but rather than delay the proofs going out Headline have given it this very elegant temporary dress. But nonetheless, as all authors know, the real excitement is that It Looks Like A Real Book! It's sitting plumply on my desk, being patted every now and again. I might resist the temptation to take it to bed with me, but then again I might not...I didn't resist with The Mathematics of Love, after all!
Fantastic, Emma. It looks splendid.

Thanks, everyone. Yes, I love it too, so it's hugely encouraging to know that others do, given that it's going to be the trade's first sight of what I'm hoping they'll think of as The New Emma Darwin.
But I know a little about what the Real Thing's going to look like, and I can't wait...
