Glad you like the title. I’ve explained how I thought of it in the post, but it does seem appealing – and yes, the connotations you point up are interesting.

Yes, I’m thrilled to have the recognition. It means a lot after all the hard work. Just a bit disappointed that it’s going to take so long. If it wasn’t successful, I had planned to self-publish again in October this year, so waiting another year seems hard. The wheels of publishing turn slowly! I’ll just have to get on with more writing in the meantime.

Good luck with your writing, Liz. Sending it out is daunting, but you’ve got no choice if you want to be read.

You must be – well I can’t even think of an adequate word! I think I recognise elements of the book …
Huge congratulations, and of course I am just a tiny bit envious. I’m currently working on the final chapter of my own novel, so it will soon be taking its chance out there in the scary world. It’s been years in the writing, so it will feel very strange to reach the end. All the very best, Liz

I love ‘Two Minutes from Eros’. It’s a real question-provoker. Eros the statue? Eros as in Freud? It also has connotations of the ‘two minute warning’ which of course denotes some kind of explosion. Write the book!

Thank you for getting in touch, Gail. I hope you might subscribe to my blog.
I have been in print before as I’ve had short stories published and I self-published a novel ‘Unravelling’ in 2010 (you might have read about it on my blog) which has won a couple of awards, but the Cinnamon award is very exciting.
It feels a very long time until publication in October 2013, but I’ll be busy writing in the meantime and might even have the draft of a new novel before then!
Look forward to hearing more about your writing.

Hi Lindsay

Congratulations on your win – your hard work has paid off. I’m still in the process of trying to get published and will be interested in following the posts of your journey into print. I don’t have any connection with Jan although I do know two people who have been published by Cinnamon, Bobbie is one and the other is Louisa Adjoa Parker who had a collection of poetry published. I interviewed her on my blog if you’re interested in finding out a bit more about her experiences. Best wishes
Gail

Thank you for the lovely comment. I’m so pleased you’ve enjoyed them. It was a really interesting exercise but more challenging than I expected. There’s going to be an ebook, so I might submit a couple to that.

I keep coming back and re-reading your stones, they are always thought provoking and different ones leap at me depending on my day, my mood etc. I think they are great – thank you for sharing.

Thanks for your comment, Sandra. This marketing/publicity/putting yourself around is a real trial and time-consuming. I self-published my novel ‘Unravelling’ but still want people to know about it and – I hope read it, so it seems important to do this marketing stuff. Much as all I really want to do – like most of us – is write!
