I have been asked to do a publicty tour - of a kind - to rouse interest in my latest book. It's a picture book and the artitst is wonderful! I stuck to my original brief, which was to make the story as factual as possible, but the commissioning editor was new to the post, and wanted,I think, to make a good impression with her first book. It went through nine re-writes and from fact to fantasy - and then back to my original version; to my great relief. I was beginning to think that I'd lost my touch. But I really must practise my walking - the customers of W,H.Smith wouldn't be impressed by an author who gives the impression of a drunken duchess.
