Which is hardest?  Writing the book or working out what the hell to pack for six weeks on the road promoting it?  I am coming to see the deep attraction of a nun’s habit, although of course they don’t get to go on the road.  At the South Bank concert in London last week many of audience thought the wonderful choir of singers WERE nuns. Obviously that  outfit has a powerful effect on people.  At the start of a tour you absolutely DO NOT WANT TO GO. Then you sit on the plane and watch London getting smaller beneath you and the adrenaline kicks in.  Not knowing what comes next. It’s like living a story rather than writing it.  Tomorrow Dublin, Saturday Toronto. Bring on some summer and sunshine. Hope to see some of you somewhere sometime.

Hi Sarah,

I saw the interview videos for Sacred Hearts and I must say it sounds quite interesting and the trilogy is going on my “to read” list (I wish I could read them now but I’m up to my eyeballs in ARCs at the moment).

That is some tour you’re on. I hope to make it out when you stop by D.C. I cannot imagine doing all that traveling in such a short span of time! I hope you get to eat some real food along the way and meet some cool people.

Cheers, Stacy

Could you please tell me who the singers are on the trailer for your new book?
