Wilbur Fucking Smith

This is what happened to me today:


I was going about my own business when I got a text message: hey Sarah. Paperbark said they have it in.
I was at the library so I bolted across the road to the best book shop in town and sure enough ... there was my book, stacked in tidy heaps by the window.
I stalked down to the bowels of the bookshop. The owner looked up from his desk and said,
"so here is trouble."
"Come and have a look at this!" I said, " Someone has put all my books in the window."

"Sarah, that was me." He patted me on the shoulder. "I put them there."

  1. That was probably the moment when I went hysterical. Like bees got stuck in my hair ... or I got a book published or something.
    Shoulda seen me.

  4. Ha ha! Didn't I say it would happen? I hope I get as fed up with you as I do with Jane bloody Austen.
