While we’ve been in lockdown, I’ve been writing Freed. Let’s hope that after all this is over, such vital people will be properly rewarded for the jobs they do. I think this year has taught us all just who makes the world work and who is essential. You might be an essential worker – a nurse, doctor, carer, shelf-stacker, cashier, cleaner, teacher, refuse collector, or farmer, etc – going out into the world every day to keep us all safe and keep us fed. What a difference a year makes! If like me, you are afraid of the terrible virus wreaking havoc across the globe, your world will have become a lot smaller. And the biggest highlight of all for me, was that I got to meet so many of you!Īnd now a year later, I only leave my house in West London to walk the dogs, and we have lost dear Russell. Those were fabulous, heady days, and I got to share the company of my dear friend and publicist Russell Perreault and my wonderful publisher and editor Anne Messitte. That tour took me to New Haven CT, Miami FL, New York NY, Lexington KY, Naperville IL, Los Angeles CA, Atlanta GA, Tempe AZ, Chelsea in the UK and Toronto in Canada. I can’t believe it’s been a year since I was in New York, enjoying the buzz and pace of the city that never sleeps, doing press interviews and signings out in Huntington and Paramus, and beginning my book tour.
