8 books in 1 deal - that's a British SCBWI record isn't it.

Thanks! Just to correct a slight inaccuracy: I have a four-book deal, but each book will have two stories in, so strictly speaking, I have an eight-story deal in four books! However, let's be positive and assume that it will be a fantastic success, and they'll ask for 4 more, so hopefully, it's not totally incorrect. And if I don't get a YouTube trailer like Sarwat, I'll stamp my foot.

Many congrats and well deserved! Considering that you're deal is for as many books as all the other UV deals put together, you shouldn't begrudge me a trailer...
