My excuse is that real life in the past few months has been frantic and that I have read barely anything blogwise for ages. <br />But now that I am peacefully back in the Czech Republic I have time to catch up and the first thing I read is your exciting news!<br />Best of all - I can just carry straight on and read all of it!<br />Good luck to your endeavours Scott.

Maybe you can email me about it? The Possibly Persephone list might give you one or two clues, but all I can say as a hint is that I think three of those titles are already in print again and a fourth (the Margery Sharp) is presumably being considered by Open Road, so my titles won't include any of those four!Furrowed Middlebrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12065110409019861653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5595702824833504762.post-52925911232735384302016-03-14T12:27:39.990-07:002016-03-14T12:27:39.990-07:00Thanks very much, Kacper!Thanks very much, Kacper!Furrowed Middlebrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12065110409019861653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5595702824833504762.post-55240151037667060502016-03-14T12:27:21.722-07:002016-03-14T12:27:21.722-07:00Thanks, Lyn!
