Today is June 2nd, which means I am now an Author! It feels very nice indeed to have achieved a goal that I thought I might never get anywhere near. Yet at the same time, despite what I had come to believe about authors having amazing super-powers, super-brains and super-everything, I surprisingly don’t feel very different. Happy but the same, which, when I come to think about it, is exactly as it should be. It’d be just my luck to finally break into the career of my dreams only to find that it turned me into a super-twat, which in turn would make me not happy!
So, whilst happy (and only a semi-twat) I revelled in my booky-birthdayness and went on a hunt for Jack Samsonite in the Manchester area. This is what I found…
He was in the bedroom!
He was in the bookshops!
He was on a lady’s bottom!
He was at the bus stop!
And then, when I’d finally had enough of finding Jack and stopped to do a bit of writing, he was in the coffee shop too!
* Absolutely none of these images were staged in any way whatsoever. At all. In the slightest… Maybe.
BIG thanks to everyone for all my book birthday best wishes! You welcomed me into your big twitter hearts, where it’s warm and cozy, and I’d quite like to stay.

Haha! This is fantastic! Happy Book Birthday! xx
Thank you Hannah! xx
Such awesome photos! Congrats on the release! Of the book. Obviously.
You’ve been making me laugh quite a lot lately Jo!
Thanks!
TOM! You got stalkers. The people reading Jack Samsonite in the bus stop are the same people reading it on the coffee shop! You are in grave danger. You must call the FBI, or SOCA, or MI5 or whatever crime agency you have there in UK because you still need to write more books to follow OSMUW(Haven’t read it yet, but hey, it was just released yesterday and I’m from a land far far away)(the rhyme in that sentence are not intentional. :D)
Or.. or maybe you’re the bad guy and they are the good guys tracking you to stop you from doing Nasty, Evil Things! :O
Thanks for the warning Aaron! Never fear, I discovered that they were just spam. It turns out I’d said the words ‘Jack Samsonite’ too loudly on a tram, and as a result was hounded by annoying ads for that damn book everywhere I went! I updated my spam filter and now everything is fine (well, it was, until I accidentally said ‘penis enlargement’ at a train station today. They won’t stop chasing me!)
Aww Tom… I miss your stupid head.
Gonna hook you up with an Aussie installment of above book trials and tribulations ASAP
Stay tuned!

New Girl! Are you proposing a polar opposite book hunt?! A female Tom, down under, hunting… whatever the opposite of my book is?!
You are too awesome! (and I miss your stupid head too).
