Hello again, friends, fans and discerning readers.

As you may already know I’ve been over to Eason bookshop in Belfast on Saturday 13 October 2007, doing a signing of my new book PAINFUL DECISIONS.

As I said in the ‘News Flash' on my website, this has always proven to be the most exciting part of my writing career and you haven’t let me down.

Phew! What a turnout! You were all fantastic. Eason manager, Trevor Proctor had booked me in between 12 noon and one o’clock on the day. Well, I started on the dot of 12 and signed non-stop until shortly after 1.30pm. I was exhausted but very pleased with myself.

I did recogonise most of you and my sincere apologies to those of you I didn’t. I would like to say a special ‘thank you’ to a faithful fan, Peggy Hutton for the beautiful rose bouquet she presented to me, my favourite flower. I was very touched with her kind gesture.

I would like to thank Trevor for inviting me over, but most of all I would like to give you, my readers a great big thank you for your tremendous turnout on the day. THANK YOU one and all. I really did appreciate your company and the craic.

You probably noticed my husband Con taking a few photographs during the signing (he thinks he’s Lord Litchfield since he got his new digital camera) and
I am very pleased with his efforts.

His work is now posted on this website. To view the photographs please

My sincere thanks again for turning up and, I hope you all have a very happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year.

Lots of love,

Mary. XXX
