What a journey!

Today I was stuck on a train coming back from London and, would you believe,it took me three hours to get home, when normally it'd take an hour? When I got in, I had some new sketches for the York Notes which are great, and yesterday, I got the last set of proofs. I also noticed that the remainder of my advance has been paid to me- yay! All in all this means the notes should be published soon, so that's very good news and certainly made up for the nightmare train journey.

Now, I'm going to be working on some resources which I'm jointly authoring with other writers. They're for Philip Allan Updates, now part of Hodder Education. Their site is:

and Hodder's is:

The commisisioning editor is Steve Eddy who is a really top bloke and he just so happens to run Q+A Resources, for whom I produced three sets of resources late last year. You can have a look at them and at the site at:

York Notes, for those of you interested in educational writing, are published by a subsidiary of Longman/ Pearson Education

Well, that's a lot of information to digest so I'll leave you with that for now.
