Helen Bailey: Electra Brown is here to stay!


		Hi! Welcome to those of you who are first time visitors, and welcome back to those who have visited my website before and know that it's packed full of stuff and updated regularly. Just look for the flashes in each section so that you don't miss anything! Electra Stuff I'm delighted to report that the first book in the Electra Brown series, Life at the Shallow End, had just the reception I hoped it would, with so many of you enjoying Electra's crazy life the publishers have reprinted twice since the first edition hit the stores in May! Life at the Shallow End received some lovely reviews, but the reviews and comments I really value are from you, the reader, and many of you have contacted me or taken the time to post comments on websites. Thank you for your support. I appreciate my readers more than you could possibly know. But now, my shallow lovelies, there is yet more fun to look forward to as ... roll drums ... start fanfare ... light the fireworks ... Out of my Depth, the second instalment in Electra Brown's crazy life, is out now! If you can't wait to find out what happened after Life at The Shallow End finished and are already suffering withdrawal symptoms, you can get an instant Electra-fix by reading the first chapter of Out of my Depth here in the Electra Stuff section as well as a sneak preview of the cover of the third Electra Brown book, Swimming Against the Tide, due to be published in February 2009. Shallow Stuff Shallow Stuff is full of stuff and nonsense including Take the How Shallow Are You? Quiz! Writing Stuff You'll find information on my backlist and ten light-hearted tips for those of you that yearn to be a writer on the Writing Stuff page. Random Stuff Random Stuff does exactly what it says on the tin. Or in the title. Stuff that makes me laugh. Stuff that's interesting. An ever-changing section about stuff in my life right now. If I only updated this when something spectacular happened such as climbing Mount Everest wearing just a thermal bikini and a pair of fake fur ear-muffs I'd never have anything to say, so it will be my life at the shallow end, the shoes I've bought, the tunes I've downloaded, the books I've read and so on. Author Stuff Finally, under Author Stuff there's stuff about me and my life, how to contact me and some serious stuff for serious people. Remember I love to receive your comments and suggestions, so do feel free to contact me at helen@helenbaileybooks.com. With love,
