me #editing! (If my hair looks a bit less than perfectly soigne, it's cos editing involves a certain amount of tearing your hair out, or at least fiddling with it while you ponder.)

It was #publication day for my eighth #novel #AChildsGoodbye yesterday and look! I matched my cardigan to my #book cover! (Semi-intentionally.) The plant was a #publicationday gift from my #publishers #Bookouture. The card with my #bookcover on was from my OH. Pic taken by my daughter!
Here's A Child's Goodbye on Amazon (out now in #Kindle, #Audible #audiobook and #paperback): https://geni.us/B0BQ7P48B1social

One of my favourite parts of being a #writer - holding a new #book for the first time! (Along with typing The End at the end of a first draft and hearing from #readers that my #books have touched them in some way.) My new #novel #AChildsGoodbye is out in #Kindle, #Audible #audiobook and #paperback on 28 March, and it's here on Amazon https://geni.us/B0BQ7P48B1cover if you'd like to preorder - you can also order the paperback from all good bookshops. #bookstodon #fiction #reading #author #alimercer

big moment for me - my new #novel #AChildsGoodbye, out from #Bookouture on March 28, is now on #NetGalley! http://netgal.ly/rBsJMc

It's a strange (and wonderful) feeling to have something that's been sitting in notebooks and on my computer, suddenly out there being read. (It's also nerve-racking waiting for early #reviews! Though one of the most brilliant and startling things about being a #writer is when you hear from #readers that they've enjoyed your #book.)
