      Thanks Alex. I enjoyed it in the end, a bit nervous to start with though. I like my comfort zone far too much :-)

    I am so proud of you!!!! I have goose bumps. I'm gonna cash in on all the dirt I know about you (which is none, but I am creative) to the tabloids as soon as you're famous. This writing gig will make me rich one way or another!

    I like your dress! It's really pretty. And congratulations! I would've felt so nervous being interviewed, especially for the BBC, but you look like you handled it really well!

      Everyone has said I looked so calm, but actually I was so nervous. I'm surprised it didn't show. I watched the interview last night, and couldn't remember being asked any of the questions!

    Congratulations! That's so amazing. I don't know how you did all of that. I would have been hiding under the nearest table for sure.

      I felt like hiding, but the tables were too tall :-) I can't believe I did it either - but I'm so glad I did, it's been really positive and I've had so many lovely comments from people.

      It was definitely an experience I want to repeat. Just need to write more short stories, and books... A nice Costa Book Award would be perfect :-)
