Current project


I am following Susie's version. I got it from the library today. Among her nuggets of good advice is "no eating after 8pm" so I am sitting here trying hard not to think about the Tim-Tams in the fridge and the gelato in the freezer.

What I don't get though is why two people would put out books with almost exactly the same title at the same time?? Susie's was published December 2010, Michelle's January 2011. I guess they are both with different publishers, but this is guaranteed to cause confusion. I have only discovered while writing this post that there are two books with different authors.

Hopefully Susie's suggestions will work but if not, I guess it's good to know I can turn to someone else for managing the same issue....

Thanks, will check it out. Now I feel cool that I am blogging on what is clearly a hot topic!?

Having learnt a little about publishing, I think they probably didn't know about each other's books! And they are probably pretty annoyed about it! Although it seems like it is earning them some free publicity that is not easy to come by in publishing, so maybe they're secretly pleased.
