My friend has published her first book today
A friend from my Top Gear days has been writing fiction for years and was taken on by an agent a few years back.She created a good book which was published in 4 parts on Amazon as àn ebook, but today she has had it published in paperback, and had a signing session in Norwich Waterstones.
If I may give her a plug, it's called A Christmas Tail, by Cressida McLaughlin. I've read part one and will now buy the book.
Proud to know an author but so envious!

On Facebook I belong to a group, of which some are authors, being based in the US I'll never meet them but they have some interesting tales to tell.
Well done your friend !

Re: My friend has published her first book today
Carol, shorty after Dad died I 'discovered' Top Gear, and a forum. I made friends on that forum, quite a few of whom are now on FB, and met them personally at two Top Gear recordings, and two days literary festival in Cheltenham, when two of the presenters gave talks.Cressie is one of them.
And TG and the girls (and boys) helped me through those months.
And yes, I really do need to write mine. But I'm so pleased that she has achieved it after years of hard work. She is so chuffed, and excited!!

And going to Top Gear recordings and meeting some of the presenters in those earlier years, and to Cheltenham Literary Festival.
And we all comforted each other when Richard Hammond suffered those head injuries in that crash.
So I call them my Top Gear days.
