Marilyn Lives!

Well, she lives in my novel Watching Willow Watts, which is out in paperback today! Whoop! If you're outside of the UK, you can order with free shipping and delivery from The Book Depository.

To celebrate, I'm giving away a free copy here -- if you'd like to be entered, just tell me your favourite word that begins with 'w'. No explanation needed! Just type it into the comment box.

And the winner of the giveaway on my Facebook page is Christine Stanley. Congrats, Christine!

And now, just to torture you more, here is the video as me as Marilyn. Look away now. LOOK AWAY!



Have a great Wednesday, everyone!

    Right now, my favourite 'w' word is wombat! Because they're cute.

    CONGRATS on the print release!! and oh man I just love Book Depository. It is my friend. and also my bank account's worst enemy at times. but freeee postage, you can't go wrong! (unless you order way too many books & max your credit card, then you've gone wrong)
