Captain Sneer, the Bucaneer, is nearly here

There was a mystery parcel for me at the post office today. I wasn't excited until I saw 'Walker Books' listed as the sender. 

I said, 'Oooooooh, looks exciting.'

The post office guy shrugged. 'It looks like a book.'

'It is! It is! It's my book.'

He recognised my name as the author and managed a happy face. I guess it's hard to get excited about parcels when you're a post office guy.

But not when you're an author and you get an advance copy and it finally feels like it's a real, actual book. Woo hoo!
