Mistress Martha's Tenth Anniversary

Probably I'm the only one to have noticed it, but this year is the tenth anniversary of the publication of the first Angel Mountain book, with the cover as above.  That cover should now be worth a fortune, with the subtitle "A Pembrokeshire Tale".  At that time (in 2001) I had no idea that the single book would turn into a Saga -- and later editions had different subtitles on them.

So ten years ago, in March, I was still hard at work writing the first episode in the exciting life story of Mistress Martha.  The time has just flown by!  And now, seven volumes and about a million words later,  I still haven't finished with Martha.  Seven is such an awkward number, don't you think?  Eight has a much nicer ring to it.
