I lost out to fellow Brit Lord Jeffrey Archer (above), author of the multimillion-selling Kane & Abel (among other works), on the night, but met some lovely and interesting people. Anne-France, my editor at Editions France, was utterly charming, as were her colleagues Isabelle and Chantal. Lord Archer (or "Jeff", as I like to call him) was very entertaining and encouraging. Journalist Bertrand Rosenthal told us fascinating anecdotes of his time as a correspondent in Afghanistan, Chechnya, Iraq and Cuba. And French author Sire Cedric made me jealous as he told me he spent six months writing then six months partying! I currently spend five days working, half a day writing, half a day playing Xbox and the rest of the time asleep. At least I got to experience a brief weekend of glamour!

Awesome photo!
Can we ask questions? I read Twisted Wing on the plane coming home. I wondered about the description of Eliza's boots, and later Paula's, starting on page 156 of my copy. This was done so sexily that I thought it must have some later significance, but I think I missed it. Did I miss it, or was it just a passage about two young women looking good in boots?
Sorry for the delay in responding Judy! I'm afraid it is just a passage about two young women looking good in boots :-)
One of my friends did actually lick another friend's boot to the tune of "Shiny Boots of Leather" during my time at college, but that's another story!
Hi:)
I'm from Hong Kong and I enjoyed reading your book. Love the whole story:) Like Sophie Hannah said, it is very very hard to put down >.<
Thanks Lea, that's very kind of you! I hope you enjoy the next one just as much. x
