Writing a book is a strange way to spend a few months of your life.

Image of the bit of Edinburgh that wasn't there when the book was set You lock yourself away in a room and come up with something that you think is good, then you show it to a few of your friends who usually like what you write because otherwise they wouldn't be your friends. Then you hand it over to an editor, who already thinks you're OK otherwise they wouldn't have given you the job.

Then you sit and wait to hear what the people who aren't your friends but have given you the job think of it.

Here you'll find two lots of "what the people who aren't your friends think": those written by people who get paid to write about these things, and those written by people who don't. Both are extremely useful and gratifying . . . and for The Many Hands, both seem to be skewing slightly more towards the "it's good" than the "it's bad" side of the fence.

Thank goodness.

This is always a nerve wracking time, waiting for people to buy the book, then to read it, then decide if they want to tell other people about it.

However, some internet reviews are starting to trickle through and generally they seem to be saying the book is good. Phew!

For those of you who've read and enjoyed, thanks for your reviews. For those who've read and not enjoyed, thanks for keeping it to yourselves.
