Anna Jacobs recounts her very first book publication - and how it was accomplished due to the generosity of a certain very famous author.

'When my first author’s copy arrived, dropping through the letterbox in the front door, as letters still do in the UK, I tore the package open on the spot, staring in utter delight at my first published book, stroking my name on the cover. Then I sat on the hall floor, cuddling the book and crying my eyes out – as you do when you’re utterly happy!'
