The lovely Donna Joy Usher says incredibly nice things about my book here. I have deleted the entire contents of my resume and pasted her words in the centre in bold and underlined: ‘Claire Varley is a writing talent born, not made, and I can honestly say that this is the best written book I have read in years.’
How does one go back to doing menial things like washing the collective household underwear and scouring oil from the bottom of the pan after reading things like that?
Claire Varley 
The answer to that question regarding the collective households underwear, is that one doesn’t. One sits on one’s throne feeling smug and ringing everybody you know to tell them about your latest success. Have fun doing it. š
