It’s been ages since I last did a PS post… sorry!

Yes, I am the last person in the world to discover 365ampersands. Whatever. It’s oddly addictive.

HUGE congrats, Ryan! // Rachel gave McGuire a mention // Mairi talked about collaboration // Jennifer of Flights of Fancy gave us a sweet shout-out! // I was interviewed by Amy Blakemore for YM // Gareth Trew appeared at Bolts of Silk // and Tom Allan, Juliet Wilson and Andy Philip all gave this collection a mention!

Many thanks for the mention Claire(!), though every time I read that piece I’m increasingly irritated with it — needs more editing methinks.

Ach, I know that feeling Gareth! Nescit vox missa reverti* and all that…
*the word once sent out can never return. This is the only Latin I know so I’m always glad of an opportunity to be smug and use it! ;)
