This article is in today's Guardian:

An extract, on being published for the first time:

My agent rang me and… he was so low key about it! One publisher had kept it for six months, which obviously gave me a lot of hope, and then they said no. I was devastated. Then [my agent] phoned me up and said, “Well, Bloomsbury want it” – very casual! Not realising he’s giving me the gift of my life. And there was this long pause, and I just said: “So… you’re saying I am going to be published?” I was beside myself.

Well deserved, though. I was reading book one again yesterday and thinking, "People turned this down?"
