Being a Girl

'Being a Girl' arrives in UK bookshops on June the 4th.

HOOORAH!

But ahead of publication day, I've been sent a few copies.  And better than that...

 I HAVE ONE WHICH HAS BEEN SIGNED BY THE WONDERFULLY TALENTED AND ARTISTIC PUG-SCRIBBLER OTHERWISE KNOWN AS GEMMA CORRELL.  

In one of those rather lovely twists of fate, it turns out that Gemma, lives in the fine city of Norwich - just as I do.  And this is marvelously handy for eating cake together and asking her to sign some books.

SOOOO... if you'd like a chance to win this ahead-of-publication signed copy, all you have to do is RETWEET or SHARE my Twitter or Facebook post which linked to this blog post.  But you must also be following or liking me on either Twitter or Facebook too.  Otherwise how will you know who's won?

Oh - and I'll sign it too of course!  And if you like I'll dedicate it to you or to
whoever else you want.

You have until midday of Tuesday April 7th - and then I'll randomly chose a winner

This giveaway is only open to people with a UK address - BUT there are French, Dutch and other versions in the pipeline.  So if you are reading this in Lyon or Utrecht or... somewhere else... keep watching this space.

Meanwhile, here's a sneaky look inside:  Remember how catty high school was?  Gemma and I decided we were Wandering Strays.  Which one are/were you?

There is another type of cat, of course - the one we all would love to be - but she's over the page.

Oh - and Gemma and I aren't the only Norwich women associated with this book.  There's a nod of respect to Edith Cavell too:

Anyway, Happy Easter!  For all the latest event information, please keep an eye on my website:
