Another long gap – but until last weekend Venus seemed to have been sleeping. However there was a review in last weekend’s Mail on Sunday by Kathryn Hughes – 8 months after publication. But it was a much-needed boost and was due to Marilyn Warnick at the MOS to whom I belatedly sent the book. She gave it 4 stars and I watched the sales on Amazon soar – well at least rise! I find it difficult to go on trying to promote and sell it when I have become engrossed in other projects. Next week I shall ring Melissa in New York and see what, if anything has happened.
