...of my advance copy of The Ringmaster, delivered to my door.
It's a real book, with a real cover, and pretty shiny silver letters...
I'm just going to take a moment to have a little cry...

Yay! Congratulations Vanda! Is getting #2 as exciting as #1?
A long and prosperous life to the new arrival!

Brilliant! Congratulations!
Cheers,

Thank you, guys.
And yes Rachael, it is as exciting as getting #1! It looks very cool having two of your books, side by side on the bookshelf. It's also exciting because it's the solid, shiny, lovely smelling proof that you can do it again.
Ah, missed this. Oh Vanda you really are doing well to have silver letters. I asked for raised letters for The Blue and there was a bit of mumbling about costing more and it never happened. I am looking forward to seeing The Ringmaster in my bookshop. Might even run my hands over it. Congratulations.
The cover looks beautiful! Having it arrive at your door must have been an exciting moment, and I can only imagine how special it is to see your two books together at last. Congratulations and all the best!
And, Vanda, your name is FIRST - that means you are sooo up there. I'm one of the lucky ones to have read it - yes another very little sleep/house work/writing moment as the next Vanda Symon's novel is consumed. Your books should come with a warning: likely to disturb household rhythms.
