I was diving in the middle of some of my favourite illustrations by Rebecca Dautremer when... 
I realised I wasn't on my own ... I decided to breake the ice... or did he? 
"May I have a look at your beautiful book?" he asked.
"With pleasure!" I answered, "do you come here often?" (silly question)
Well, you see my dear friends,today I was at the London Book Fair and I have made delightful encounters like this one all day long.
You might want to know that I was there with something very special in my bag: my book!
It is finished ! At last!
I went to meet the printer, chose the paper, the size, asked lots of questions and came back with a bag full of catalogues.
Lots of lovely chats, cards given , hands shaken, it was a very exciting day!
The first copies are going to be self-published as Moochoo is also an independant publisher . It would be soooooooo stupid of me not to give it a go,don't you think?
Some of you might be interested to be the first to have a signed copy and I would be extremely honoured to keep one of the first on hold for you.
Please, just let me know by leaving a comment here or send me an e-mail so I will know how many will be printed for this first edition.
My heart is beating so fast with excitement !
I just want to believe something nice is happening.
Biiiiiig sigh...
Much love to you all.
PS: It's been taking me ages to visit everybody lately so please forgive me if I haven't come back to you yet.
PS bis: for those who haven't followed ( not always easy on blogland , I have some trouble following evryone too! ) you can have an extract HERE
