If anyone knows M J Pearson…

… could they pass on a message to her that her email box is full? I’m trying to ask her if she’d like to do an interview on Speak Its Name, but I can’t get a message to her. I reviewed her latest book “Helpless” yesterday, and I really really liked it. I’ve left a message with her agent, but I don’t know if she’s still her agent. Do give Helpless a try, and don’t be put off by the cover!

I’m reading “Counterpoint” now by Ruth Sims. I read this a couple of years ago when she had first finished it, so I’m looking forward to seeing it in its final incarnation. Due to the eye problems, my reading has slowed up hugely, and Speak Its name is suffering for it.

Eye news: Went to the clinic yesterday, and they are very pleased with my progress. There’s marked improvement and the muscles are working harder than they were before. This explains how I can focus on things now – although it takes an act of will, rather than being automatic. Still no insight as to WHAT is causing it, and they haven’t yet arranged an MRI. Rolls eyes as best as I can…the S in NHS certainly doesn’t mean Speedy. I have a heart scan on 24th and then after that I need to book a glucose tolerance test. How exciting.

Did you use the Hotmail email addy that's on her website?

If so, I've got another addy for her (which I won't put on here as I'm not sure if it's a private one) which I can send you.

Pleased to hear that things are improving eye-wise. Sounds as though it's going to be quite a lengthy process for you though :-(

Yes, the hotmail one came back saying her mailbox was full, so I'm guessing she doesn't check that one very often. I'd be very grateful, or if you think she might not like you giving me her alternative address, could you mail her on my behalf and let her know I'd like to interview her?

Many thanks!

I don't think there'll be any problem with me passing the addy on to you. I'm probably just being a bit overcautious about putting other people's addys online...

I'll email it to you, ok?

Smashing - thank you!

Oh dear--MJP doesn't have the greatest cover luck. I saw the new ones on her earlier books, and have to admit I prefer the originals. And this... yike.

Good news about your EYES, though. And sort-of good news that the docs see your health situation as 'monitor at a moderate pace' instead of 'throw her in the hospital, stat!'

That one sounds interesting: added to my To Buy list.
