Nicolle’s comments from the Q&A with Steve Morris group.

Looks good. Is it only available as an ebook then?

Oh that's pretty soon! Do you do things like book signings?

Nope. I recently (about three months ago) got an ipad which has the iBooks and kindle app, I use it every day but I haven't read a book on it yet. Only use these apps for reading journal articles for my studies which I wouldn't be able to get a paper copy of anyway. I just find reading a physical book more satisfying. I am starting War and Peace on here but reading that and holding a thin thing rather than the giant book we know it to be feels strange.

I never really watch video trailers. Is it just a vid posted on YouTube?

That's awful! Best not tell then...

What magazine?

Oh right, will change the publication date on goodreads book as I put 2013.
Can I ask when did you start writing short stories and what made you want to publish?

Made this page

Looks good, and different from your usual. :)

I expect so, and no doubt we will have many new inventions like today's 'lol' and things like that. Maybe it will take a drastic u turn and we will all speak the queen's English (hopefully right use of apostrophe).

Really? That's just strange. I'm sure lots of older people now think we talk weird but it's just influences from media, and other countries.

How I live now is one of my favourite books. It is so sad though so I don't think I'll be watching the film (don't like sad films) but it is just heartbreaking especially the end. I like all of Meg Rosoff's books that I've read, she's a really good author. It's the actress from lovely bones in it too, and she's pretty good.

Oh he's I remember you saying something like that before. It will be different from your usual!

I haven't noticed that particularly but I am dismayed at the general lack of an punctuation used correctly even in places where you would expect them to be correct. I know what you mean about the plural though I don't think many people know what it's for. Who to blame? Education system?

Thanks Steve, I do look forward to reading all your new writings. Your last one was great, is this even better?

I guess it does. I'm sure at some point we will adopt their spellings as we adopt most of everything else they do. It certainly saves some ink from shortening some words.

The titles of all those books are brill too.

Here are some covers I love for your inspiration:



(This doesn't necessarily mean I like the book, though in many cases I did)

What's the difference?

Exciting! Out in time for Christmas?

I think we all do often judge books by their cover and it is very important to get a good one. You'll have to think of something good. If you need any help let me know :)
Plus if it's going to be out just before christmas people are more likely to pick pretty of interesting looking books as gifts.
