"Thanks, Charlotte. Glad you enjoyed it. If you liked that one, you might enjoy UNTYING THE KNOT or EMOTIONAL GEOLOGY.
Have you found my author page on Facebook? https://www.facebook.com/pages/Linda-Gillard/148890999324"

"You're welcome, Anne. I hope you enjoy it and I look forward to your review. I'm afraid it's out of print now but perhaps when you review you could mention that it's now available on Kindle? I also have some copies myself."
Linda Gillard replied to Kate Allan's discussion Valentine's Day Treasure Hunt WINNERS
"Oh, well said, Kate! Yes, indeed, Amazon (and other) reviews always gratefully received. :-)))
I've only recently realised how important both the number and quality of Amazon reviews are (ie 4- & 5-star.) Amazon sets a lot of store by them…"

"Congratulations to Anne & Rhoda. I've messaged you about your prizes.
Thanks to Kate for organising the party. Hope the clearing up wasn't too bad. ;-)
Best wishes to all
Linda"

"Hi Rhoda
You've won the e-book of UNTYING THE KNOT. :-)
I need an email address to send you a Kindle gift certificate. Can you let me have one via a msg here or on Facebook or in an email.
I assume you shop at Amazon UK? If not let me know…"

"Oh, it all ended up unhappily and I turned him into anti-hero Gavin in EMOTIONAL GEOLOGY !"
Linda Gillard replied to Kate Allan's discussion Grab a drink... introductions...
"Yes, me too! That's what I miss the most, I think, when I go south - the accents and the light.
I once enjoyed a romantic interlude with a Scottish climber who recited all the Gaelic names of the Cuillin mountains on Skye, as a form of…"
Linda Gillard replied to Kate Allan's discussion Grab a drink... introductions...
"I agree - but oh, don't get me started! I taught in what (in a less PC age) was called a dustbin school and it was clear to me that what a lot of my pupils needed was a good square meal. A pre-school Breakfast Club could have made a world of…"

"I'm another teaching refugee. I don't miss the job but I missed the kids for years after I quit."
Linda Gillard replied to Kate Allan's discussion Grab a drink... introductions...
"Alba gu brath! (Or "Scotland for ever!")
I'm not Scottish but have lived in the Highlands & Islands since 2000. I certainly wouldn't want to live anywhere else now."
Linda Gillard replied to Kate Allan's discussion Grab a drink... introductions...
"Thanks, Christina. :-)
I thought it was too dramatic to suggest chick lit but I suppose a bride gives out a particular message. But the hero & heroine are actually divorced (from each other) so we thought the cover was quirkily appropriate."

Susan Bergen said… Linda, what a super webpage you have. Amazing photographs. As I'm living in Perthshire currently, I'm looking forward to seeing how it features in Untying the Knot.
I read your bio and detect similarities. I too have done a little in the acting profession (emphasis on little!), I too retrained as a teacher, shall we say, later than most... I have written (briefly) for a magazine (not quite journalism), have grown up children. Or is it just a few degrees of separation? Now there's a theme for a novel. Mine Haha

Hi Linda
Just checked out your facebook page. I "liked" it in both senses of the word. Can't wait to read your latest. I just love your covers - who does them? Brilliant stuff!

My blog is linked through Networked blogs to both Facebook and Twitter so hopefully, you'll pick up a few new readers through it. The link to my blog is http://www.melanierobertson-king.com/wp02/
