As I posted in the Loonies group, I wasn't able to do the revisions while I was there because, although our wifi was rubbish, I could receive stuff for limited periods each day, but my poor editor Greg, who lves and works abroad, was suffering terrible problems, both technically and in health. Still I have all his notes now, and although I was shell shocked yesterday I've caught up on sleep and nearly caught up with the washing, so I can get get on with it now.
Already got almost 600 pre-orders, according to the publishers, and did I tell you about the books I donated while I was on hols? I've been going to the same place for so long now I and my friends are regarded as honorary locals, and thus do local type things, including contributing to local charities. Pretty sure I told you all this, but someone won Murder In The Blood (about the faux village in Turkey) and is going to wait for the Glovemaker's Son. Must not forget.
Anyway, it was wonderful to be back after a gap of a year, so much so that I've already booked a return trip in September, hopefully when I won't forget so many essentials - which I did this time. Well, there aren't many places you can go where the owner of the hotel gives you your first bottle of wine free, can't actually remember how much he should be charging you, and says if you can't afford the full price don't worry about it... And no, I'm not going to tell you where it is. The drawbacks for the mass holiday crowd are the two hour journey through the mountains from the airport, the lack of any nightlife (except alcohol!) and the less than stunning gastronomic experiences. We all have our favourite restaurants, not that there are many, and we are all known by name. In some places it is assumed that we will have the same thing each time, which can be awkward!
So it's full steam ahead with Glovemaker's, then updating my pantomime script, then starting the next one. Think I should send Libby & Co back to Turkey?

It Does Look Beautiful. Glad you enjoyed your holiday,Shame you have to get through all the mundane things when you get home. I think it’s a great idea for Libby and friends to have another trip to Turkey,we can catch up with some of the people she met on her last trip or perhaps she fancies visiting another part of the country
It is beautifully,Glad you enjoyed your holiday shame you have to catch up with mundane things when you come home.I think it would be a great idea for Libby and co to return to Turkey to catch up with those people she met before or visit another part of the country either way I will thoroughly enjoy it
