Meeting Martina Cole

Yesterday I went to Waterstones in Chelmsford, Essex, where Martina Cole was signing her new book. Martina is an old friend of mine from way back. We were members of The Romanic Novelist Association and would chat away to each other whenever we went to the RNA. Her first book was published about a year before my first one. Yesterday I wondered if she would remember me because we hadn't met for years. But she did. Threw out her arms to me, yelling "Liz! Wonderful to see you!" and gave me a smacking great kiss and a cuddle. So nice to meet again. The same old wonderful Martina, hasn't altered one bit.
Had our photo taken by the press (hopefully it will be in the Essex Chronical). Had a quick chat, she inundated with people wanting their books signed of course. But it was lovely to see her again.
