Lady V makes her comeback (again)


Well I am tearful, and tits out, and, oh, well, quite frankly EMOTIONAL. And I make no apology for it.

After a vile day of data entry I return to my barren spinster shack for a light ovary nourishing salad and a session of mild self hatred.

Whereupon I happen on a padded envelope,

Which retains no less than the proof copy of THE NOV.

Yes, dear reader, after YEARS, MARJORIE, of waiting, the proof copy was waiting to be ripped apart and DEVOURED.

Here it is.

I am thrilled for you.

Can't wait to see the stacks laid out in Waterstone's, with the long queue of adoring admirers snaking out of the store, waiting for an audience of even a few snatched seconds with you as you graciously sign a copy of your, er, baby, just for them, as a small part of your brain is counting the royalties as they stack up, and working out which Hollywood mogul's offer to accept.

Do you need a factotum/bodyguard on your payroll? I'm not very handy with my fists, but I'm quite big so am pretty good at stopping bullets.

I dunno what I'm on today.

Back to you. I really am thrilled!

The masterpiece, the proof of the existence of the new Virginia....
I shall be collecting the women fainting at your feet and selecting the hot ones to bring gifts to the Queen.
They will be allowed in threes..
bringing gold, gin and myrrh.
The throne will be balanced on Filippo's naked body!
