I agree - especially love the Find Outers stories when they were adults!

Thanks, all. I've even forgotten some of the plots myself now, as it was years ago when I wrote those.

It was a nuisance. An adventure was one thing - but an adventure without anything to eat was quite another thing. That wouldn't do at all. (The Valley of Adventure )

In case anyone is interested, I have just signed the Authors Certificate of final proofs now, giving permission for the publisher to have my book printed.
Once I get my own author's copies I can pop up a photo for you all to see the cover.

I'm really looking forward to seeing copies of your book in the shops, Julie. Both my grandsons have asked for a copy.

I want two copies. One for me and one for my granddaughter for when she grows up. Both signed of course.

I'll be happy to sign any copies folks.
Just hope I'll be able to get about to do this as I've dislocated by knee and am laid up on crutches.

I was very sorry to hear that you had dislocated your knee, Julie. I hope that it will soon be better.
