The Mysterious Boy - Julie Robinson

[Eddie Muir]

Brilliant news, Julie. Chick and I are really looking forward to reading your book.

Hearty congratulations to you and to Simon.

[John Pickup]

Great to finally see the cover of the book. Wonderful artwork from Simon. Coincidentally, I shall be in Lincoln on Tuesday so I shall pop into Waterstones to see if the book is on the shelves. Can't wait to read it.

[Tony Summerfield]

Great to see the picture of you proudly clutching a copy, Julie. It is possibly my imagination but it looks slightly bigger than a normal paperback.

[sixret]

Yes, it looks more like a trade paperback/softback size than mass market paperback size.

[Julie2owlsdene]

Thanks, Eddie and John.

I've just put the book with one of my own paperbacks, Tony, and it's the same size as a few adult paper backs that I have, but slightly larger than the odd few children's paperbacks I have. It's the same size as the Robin Stevens - Unlady Like Mystery Series - but not as thick.

If anyone wants to buy an author's signed copy from myself, I have nine left.

The price of the book says £5.99, and the second class postage weights in at £1.25.

Please contact me via a PM if you want one of these copies. It will have to be a first come first serve only having the nine copies left. I can only post at this price to the Uk.

A real bargain, Julie!

Thanks for your kind comments on Simon's cover illustration, folks. Here his is after receiving the World's Best Illustrator award from Julie!



Edit: Apologies if you're reading this on an iPad - the picture is on its side! I have no idea why as it is the right way up on my PC.

[Julie2owlsdene]

Glad he likes it, Nigel. A well deserved pressie for him.

Hope he's available for the next one!

[Courtenay]

Is there going to be a sequel, Julie? Or a whole series, Famous Five style??

[Julie2owlsdene]

I always keep my cards close to my chest, Courtenay.

[John Pickup]

When I go in Waterstones in Lincoln on Tuesday I'm going to tell them Julie Robinson is the next Enid Blyton.

[Julie2owlsdene]

Good for you, John. How much do I owe you.

[Rob Houghton]

When I go in Waterstones in Lincoln on Tuesday I'm going to tell them Julie Robinson is the next Enid Blyton.

great idea! I hope you do say that!

[John Pickup]

Oh I will. For a small fee I can give a certain Robert Houghton a plug.

[Rob Houghton]

Lol - trouble is, mine's only available on Amazon!
