Goodbye 2011, Hello 2012!

2011 was a brilliant year - not only was The Cypress Tree published but all the wonderful support helped it not only sell all printed copies in UK and around the world, but it went into reprint. Now I am excited about 2012 when paperback will be published in the UK and Italian-language hardback in Italy!
