 Hi everyone, we've finally got the videos together for the Q&A competition, and you can see me answering the first one here. Apologies for the subdued lighting - we did the recording in my hotel room in London and although it was very posh it didn't do bright lights! I'll be posting up a video every day this week so check to see if your question is answered. Violet - great question! Can you send your details to: marketing@headline.co.uk to receive your proof copy of Things We Never Say. Hope you enjoy it. See you again tomorrow!
