Let's just say the boos were true!

I wrote and posted a blog and something must have gone wrong because it says it doesn't exist! Oh dear

Had the best time at the Literally PR Media Party in Chelsea. I was so nervous because I had to give a speech but it amazingly came out good! Met some fab people and made great contacts. All night I was looking out for Bloomsbury Publishing and when I was talking to this journalist, Aleta was talking to Bloomsbury! During the 2nd round of speeches, Aleta was waving around this piece of paper, giggling like a loon and giving me these mysterious looks. I thought she was just drunk! Turns out Bloomsbury came to my table and asked for more details and she got an email address for the senior editor! Slam dunk!!!

It's so interesting that I keep bumping into HarperCollins and Bloomsbury Publishing, it feels like I get so close and yet not quite there but I have good feeling about this. Something fab is going to happen soon. During my speech, I mentioned 'Rose' and everyone loved the concept.
Check out my interview about Rose with Fashion Abecedaire 
and my interview about publishing with WES BLOG

Wireless Festival was amazing!! Pharrell was brilliant and so bloody cool. Why is he so cool? Iggy Azalea was better than last year, she really shone and the main man Kanye West...well let's just say the boos were true! He went on a 20 min rant about the fashion industry and racism and the how bad social media is (even though his wife is the Queen of social media). What he said was great but it's a festival! Ain't no-one got time for that. Plus it started to rain. When he was rapping, he was amazing. Don't know about that weird mask though.

It was my friend Kara's birthday and we went to a Cabaret night at PROUD, 1920's theme. It was so sick!! When you go in, you feel like you are in the Moulin Rouge. The female staff are walking around in corsets and underwear, which was a shock to see at first look but the entertainment was great. There was an acrobat, the host was a fab singer and hilarious and this girl did a strip tease with nipple tassells! One fell of as well. The food was great and we  were seated right next to the stage, it was such an experience. Loved it.

If you haven't read Emily Knight I AM by now - what is up with that?? Here's one review I got recently , 5* people :D

Wow! This is one of the best Fantasy I've read this year. This attention-grabbing book is truly fun. This page turner displays well-crafted characters. Indeed each chapter has its own fascinating twists and turns making me curious about what would happen. Certainly this was such a fast read and an entertaining one. Indeed this story is utterly amazing! Just wonderful! This is a must have!


Amen to that! Off to Amsterdam next week for bday, that should be a fab blog!
Here's some pics from PROUD, she was our waitress below!

My meeting with an agent

Those of you who have been following this blog from the beginning will know that I've been trying for years to get an agent. Well I have the best news...I HAVE A LITERARY AGENT!!!!!!!! Omg I was in so much shock when they responded and it wasn't the rejection letter I was used too. You're probably wondering how did this happen right? Remember when I went to The London Book Fair? My PR told me to go through the exhibition directory and message all the literary agents for a meeting. Whilst I was doing that, most of them had links to their sites so I figured why not submit for the thousandth time, you never know. The directory is super long so I got bored doing it and Helen (PR) kept emailing 'Have you finished it?' All I can say is thank Jesus that she did that because that's when I submitted to Raimondi and Campbell. I got a response to read the whole of the novel. Now I've been at this position before and it usually ends there, so I sent the book in. Th...

2012 is the year where you'll know my NAME!

I know, I know. Saying I've been busy is no excuse for not writing in this blog but trust me I have been. So the good news. I went to New York which was fun for Chelsea (fellow bloggers) bday. We were so lucky that we had missed the snow and got loads of sun in November. Got to see the Statue of Liberty, up close, Times Square, 5th Avenue, went up the Empire State Building and of course the International House of Pancakes! I thought it would resemble the Hard Rock Cafe but the look is very laid back, the portions are not. The shopping side wasn't brill because their tax is so high it's not worth it and don't even let me get started on the street numbers and avenues. Confused! Me and Chels walked everywhere just because it was so confusing. I had a six pack when I got home. One of the highlights of the hol was definitely the musicians on the subway who were so lost in their music they kept forgetting that they weren't in Madison Square Gardens (We went there, I brief...
