PostingNeil Gaiman comes to Edinburgh

Sorry I haven't posted much of late, I've been concentrating on my lovely husband, Beanie and our baby girl, who is already twelve weeks old, and didn't want to forsake them - even temporarily - for the blogosphere. It's not just the time I would have had to spend writing posts, it was my fear that posting would lead to obsessive (no doubt unhealthy) checking to see if anyone had left a comment. So I didn't risk anything that would stick me behind a computer screen, instead of with the family, and had a complete break for a while. Also, let's be honest, I've been exhausted from the sleepless nights, though relieved and happy that our baby girl arrived safely. A few readers have kindly asked what it's like to have two children - I'll write more on this in future postings but let's just say for that I didn't know it was possible to love two little girls and their daddy as much as I love my lot. Life has been crazy (and wonderful too) but we're now more settled in our new roles as a family of hour (five, if you count Granny, bless her). Partly with that in mind I'm breaking radio silence to let Edinburgh readers know that best-selling fantasy writer (and ace blogger) Neil Gaiman, whose novel Stardust was made into the 2007 movie starring Clare Danes, Michelle Pfeiffer and Robert De Niro, is coming to Edinburgh next week to promote his new book The Graveyard Book. He'll be appearing at the Churchill Theatre on Tuesday, October 28, at 7pm. You can buy tickets (costing £5, redeemable against a copy of the book on the night) and find out more details here.

glad to hear that you and yours are doing well. I have visited your blog a few times before, but never commented, so I am de-lurking! I had my second daughter 13 weeks ago and my first is of a similar age to yours too - hard work isn't it!



I especially enjoy reading about Edinburgh, as I went to university there and would love to move back one day.
