Happy Burp-day 2 Me

I've been on a road trip the past few days, eating lots of cake.

This is a good thing.

I also received a lovely compliment via Twitter:

@ClaireJulieJ: just been given a copy of Georgie to read. I cannot put this book down, it's brilliant! Can't wait to read your other books.

I will never, ever get over the novelty of having people I've never met say how much they have enjoyed a story I've told.

There's an incredible buzz that comes from trading in imagination.

So, thank you Claire. That made my day!

Best birthday gifts you can give an author:

• Buy a book, for yourself or for a friend
• Write a (nice) review
• Drop them a line to tell them how much you've enjoyed their work

Then eat cake!
