A better click-bait title would have been ‘take me to bed with you’, but it wouldn’t be strictly true and you would be taking The Dean to bed too, which might require a stiff drink beforehand.
In any case, here is a quick video of me reading a chapter from the new PorterGirl novel, The Vanishing Lord.
I shall be at the London Book Fair this week, so online activity will be sporadic, although if you find yourself missing my little face, please feel free to keep up with me on Twitter and Facebook. Obviously this week will be a great opportunity for me to work hard in making important contacts and promoting my work. It is certainly not an excuse to go marauding around Kensington in nifty waistcoats, drinking wine and singing rude songs. No.

I love this video-read Lucy! WOWZA! THAT is a massive book! Did you need help getting it up into your lap? Hahaha. If you were upset with someone, could you throw that book at ’em? π π
Seriously though, loved your reading and The Vanishing Lord! β€
Why thank you, my dear fellow! Actually, the book is normal size, I am just very small π But it was definitely a two hand job π
I’m really pleased you enjoyed it. I might do a couple more here and there – but I really, really have to get it finished and I am so very close!
Big hugs to you, you scandalous fellow, you!
HAH! π β€
Chin UP! Big smile! You will finish it and it will throw open your new literary phase in life Ms. Delicious! π
Wise words, indeed! Consider the chin well and truly UP!!
Ooh, well read, Lucy!! I could listen to your lovely accent all day, I think. But I’ve got a dumb question — were you reading and turning the pages backwards, or am I just looking at the video strangely?? Best of luck at the London Book Fair — enjoy yourself (but remember, a little wine is enough, too much might be counterproductive, ha!!)
Aha the dreaded ‘backwards book’ thing! Yes – I filmed it on my laptop, which gives a reverse image, as opposed to a camera which gives a true image. I didn’t notice it myself, but several readers have pointed it out. I think I shall claim that it is a magic book π But I’m glad you enjoyed it nonetheless, I find it so funny that you like my accent!
Fear not, I shall not be imbibing too much grape juice – a girl has work to do!
