Me – on Page 3!

What a great week I’m having!

Now, to top it all off, I’ve become a Page 3 Girl!

(do you see what I did there? He he…)

My thanks go to my local newspaper, The Manly Daily, for their awesome write-up and great photo of me published this morning on page 3.

Me on Page 3!

There was a little photo of me on the front page too, so I could technically say that my writing has now made front page news!

Me – making front page news!
(kinda)

And with an incredible readership of over 150,000 people, I can also now say that the first paragraph of my novel has reached thousands. He he!

If you can’t read the text on the photo, just follow this link to read the full article online: Zena in the Manly Daily.

And thanks too to all the readers, fans, family and friends who spotted me in the paper this morning and sent me their congratulations. It means a lot to me that you took the time to send me your best wishes – and that I got to surprise you by peeking out of your paper over breakfast 🙂
