Nell: Why is Kev taking another photo of you pretending to read without your glasses?
Me: Because of our exciting news. I talked to the publishers yesterday.
Nell: I know. It was on Speaker.
Me: You insisted.
Nell: Of course I did. You can’t be trusted to have these meetings alone.
Me: Well, I told them how everyone is waiting patiently for their Amazon deliveries.
Nell: Yes.
Me: Unfortunately they don’t know when the Amazon deliveries will happen because of the current situation, but all preorders will be honoured.
Nell: Yes, but when it came to new orders they said: “For UK and EU residents, please visit your local bookshop or order direct from Gazelle Book Distributors by email or phone +44 (0) 1524 528500“
Me: That’s exactly what they said.
Nell: And : “For US residents, we encourage going to your local bookstores or visiting Bookshop.org. They can also order directly from the publisher...bit.ly/
Me: How did you do that? Those were the exact words.
Nell: Copy and paste. I asked Jamie to email it over. Do keep up. The publishers are Schiffer Publishing in Pennsylvania, by the way, and they have the books in their warehouse.
Me: Anyway, there’s more, because I asked them if we could give away some copies and they agreed.
Nell: So, if you would like to win a copy of the book, please click on this link:

Me: There are five books to be won and the giveaway is open for another 7 days. Good luck.
Nell: They also said for those outside the UK wanting to order one as a Mother’s Day present, please let them know as they can do something special.
Me: Why outside the UK?
Nell: Because we’ve had Mother’s Day here.
Me: Oh yes. Sorry.
