a result, I approached no less than 60 agents by email (10 of<br />

<strong>the</strong>m by phone) but only six wanted to see extracts of my book<br />

by post. I also sent extracts to Piatkus Submissions at Little,<br />

Brown.<br />

In February, <strong>the</strong> current period under consideration as I write,<br />

visit figures have aga<strong>in</strong> halved to 200-250 a week. However,<br />

Lulu have reported and paid me £9.53 for three sales of <strong>the</strong><br />

ma<strong>in</strong> book <strong>in</strong> January, through US distributors. Whe<strong>the</strong>r<br />

Amazon, or Barnes and Noble, is not stated. I emailed my<br />

female American fellow author<strong>in</strong>e about <strong>the</strong>se books – had she<br />

Wednesday came back my parcel sent to Piatkus, and a second<br />

parcel from David Higham Associates – <strong>the</strong>n today ano<strong>the</strong>r<br />

parcel from <strong>the</strong> Gunn Media Agency. All naturally politely said<br />

‘no’. This <strong>after</strong>noon, Thursday, hav<strong>in</strong>g thought about it, I sent<br />

this letter <strong>with</strong> my f<strong>in</strong>al book and poems – to <strong>the</strong> two chapla<strong>in</strong>s<br />

I knew at <strong>the</strong> QE2 who had been helpful: -<br />

Dear Lorra<strong>in</strong>e and Simon, especially Simon,<br />

The enclosed f<strong>in</strong>alised title of my book has been around for<br />

some months but <strong>the</strong> contents I only f<strong>in</strong>alised, merg<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> two<br />

books I orig<strong>in</strong>ally gave you <strong>in</strong> November 2007 – on 28 th<br />

December 2009.<br />

Simon, please realize that <strong>the</strong> reason that I write to YOU like<br />

this is that I have shown previous versions of this book to local<br />
