Just finished reading A Tiny Bit Marvellous and absolutely, totally, wonking, bloody loved it! Bawled my head off at the end and laughed out loud through most of it. Please keep writing!

I did read your 2 books. And I liked them. A Tiny Bit Marvellous, is a clever, sad, and funny book. You are a very clever woman, I have never doubt about that. I love your writing style. I know you will never read this post, because, you don't like computer (or don't have), but it's a pleasure writing a good thing about you.

So,please keep writing.(I know I stole the end sentence).

Dear Dawn,

I find it incredibly hard to relax and read my newspaper while my wife howls with laughter in my remaining good ear due to this book of yours that she's reading.

This situation is, however, considerably more preferable to my lovely wife's enormously erratic and scary menopause induced mood swings.

She's advised me that you have only written 2 books and given that she's read your first book already and is just about finished this latest, could you please hurry up and finish the next one?

Myself and my sons would be momentarily (sorry it's not eternally - you'd have to write a hell of a lot more books for that) grateful.

Just finished this and LOVED it! Cried my eyes out on the bus this morning to work, laughed my head off a lot too. And massive kudos for the recipe section, how did you know I was going to look up the Beetroot cake recipe???

Keep up the good work, look forward to the next book
