Hi,

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas – yes, I know that was ages ago, but time has speeded up here and suddenly it is getting towards the end of january.

But I am back online! eek – have had BIG problems with the internet but now all is great again after days of a wonderful technician trying all kinds of modems and STUFF. So I shall get back to Ask Angie 4 forthwith. BUT … because I am still writing FYRE (only 6 more chapters to g0!) if you ask loads of questions I may cheat for the next couple of months and only answer one or two easy ones.

And for everyone in the UK – I went to Bloomsbury (my UK Publishers) last week and saw the most amazing new cover for the paperback of MAGYK. They are going to re-do all the paperback covers and there will be a big re-launch in July. It’s brilliant. And watch out for Sep Heap in Bin Weevils too!

Ok- back to work, have a nice January and lucky you in australia and New Zealand. Up here it’s cooooooold!

Angie

Hello,

I am really sorry I have not been online for the last month or so. It’s been crazily busy here and I have had to concentrate on … well, you know the title now … FYRE.

It’s like all Septimus books, I can think normally until I get to the last quarter and then I have to hibernate. I have a lot of sympathy with tortoises. SO I have been writing and concentrating on Sep and all the stuff that is happening there and not gone out into the big wide world very much at all.

I will try and keep up with posts, but I will be slo … o … o … w until FYRE is done. And then – wow.

For those of you who have a Kindle, Darke is part of their 12 days of Christmas special offer – so you can get a really good value download.

So here’s wishing you all a wonderful MidWinter Feast, a great Christmas and a very Septimus New Year!

It’s back to work! Revising book seven, going all the way back to the beginning and working out what should go where. All the subtleties and little bits and pieces that don’t always happen first time around – or even second – well, now I have to start really thinking about them.

So if my replies to Ask Angie are a little slow, you can blame Marcia. I do. You can add Marcellus Pye to that as well.

So… Heigh ho, heigh ho, it’s back to work I go. And yes, I am allowed to sing that because I am only 5 foot tall.

Happy Autumn -or Fall – or Spring…

Angie
