From Euston, With Love

It's the middle of the week, and would you believe the clouds of doom (i.e., rain) have cleared and it's now actually sunny in London? It's a miracle!

I want to say a giant thank you to everyone who has bought and reviewed Watching Willow Watts, because today I found out Amazon has chosen my novel as a 2011 Top 100 Customer Pick in Kindle Books!  Whoop! And it's all down to customer reviews... so I really can't say thank enough for taking the time to support me.

And as a little treat, I leave you with this wonderfully romantic video (fast-forward to 2:00 for the romance!). Enjoy, happy Wednesday, and thank you, thank you!

    Congratulations! What wonderful news.

    And what a great video. People should always break out into song on the subway, not just for proposals, IMO. :)
