We know,we know. We promised a daily sneak peak inside the book, and as yet have delivered nada, our only excuse is that we've been so busy trying to get the custom dust jackets done for a select few that we've literally had a fingers in thimbles all week. But... we couldn't let you down entirely, or let the week go by without another couple of tantalising tidbits. So here you are people. Enjoy.
Oh and don't forget, launch is tomorrow night at Craft Victoria between 6 and 8pm. Ramona will be giving a magnificent speech and I'll be nodding on the sidelines and chortling where appropriate (you all know how much I love public speaking).

Show's only on for another three days, so you'll have to be quick. After that we'll all be history.
