That does look coolio, congratulations and good luck.
How does one get hold of a copy?
Looking forward to it!
It sure does look great from what you've told us - so why shouldn't you be saying it? I shall be keeping an eye on this blog.
Good luck, but more importantly, get me that poster, I love that poster , I need that poster, I may not be able to live without it.
Congrats - I *love* the cover.
I'll ask on Thursday and let you know. I think she's on facebook
Now I've looked more closely at the poster, I want it too. Look, look, look at the names on it!
Wow! You are kidding! You wrote that?!
We bought it in Eason's a while back, having just seen it and thought "hey, lit mag!"
That was my favourite poem in the whole thing, I even especially ponted it out to MM and she loved it too.
Briliant job!
Thanks Aoife. That's really nice of you to say. Who's MM?
