I am SO glad to have found you!

I am an author and my dark historical fantasy, "Finding Emmaus" just launched Oct 1st. http://www.lodestarre.com/FindingEmmaus.html and I"m delighted to be able to say that even in its infancy Finding Emmaus has been very well received, surprisingly garnering as much interest from men as... women.

I am interested in learning as much as I can about the UK market as possible and you seem to have more of the sort of info in one place than anyone else I've found so far.

I am pleased to meet you and look forward to getting to know you.

Hope you have a great week.
