Keris is one of our favourite reviewers (and the author of our brilliant Slopsville series last year, her week by week success-by-disaster weaning diary), so we are naturally excited that her first book is finally on the shelves. And just look – this (very excited) image taken just today in WH Smiths proves it!
‘Della Says OMG!’ (bottom shelf, third from left, black cover) is a YA/Teen fiction, and a contemporary coming of age tale in the same vein as Judy Blume’s ‘Forever’ (which left its mark on all of us of a certain generation, I believe). Written of course with Keris’ characteristic honesty, warmth and wit which make even talking about reusable baby wipes snort-out-loud funny.
Keris is such a lovely, lovely person (you can talk to her on Twitter – @keris – she’ll talk to anyone, honestly, she’s not fussy), and I’m so thrilled for her – and also have no doubt this is the first success of a fantastic career.
If you visit Keris’ website you can read the first chapter (please do, you’ll love it) – and enter a comp to win an iPod touch too. Take a cup of tea with you – you may be some time.
(Okay Keris, I’m done now – you can stop blushing)
