I feel very fortunate to know so many talented writers! Having already admired the gently-rippling pink pages of Lord Whimsy’s Companion, and eagerly awaiting Cover the Mirrors…

…I’ve just sent off for a copy of the wonderful Leonie Stevens’s The Remarkable Miss Julia Merton.

I hope Leonie won’t mind me saying that, knowing her, I’ve no doubt Miss Julia’s story will be intelligent, bladder-wobblingly funny and punkier than a Luddite with larynx trouble. On fire.
