&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8230;he said.  &amp;#8220;it&amp;#8217;s been gathering cyber dust for months. People will think you&amp;#8217;ve gone off the radar.&amp;#8217;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I haven&amp;#8217;t ; I&amp;#8217;ve gone on the circuit.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Early 2010 has been a frenetic time.  I&amp;#8217;ve spoken to WI&amp;#8217;s, Wives Fellowships, Women&amp;#8217;s Guilds, Soroptimists and various charity organisations and loved every second of it.   I&amp;#8217;ve finished&lt;em&gt; A Grand Illusion&lt;/em&gt; and sent it off to my agent and wandered around muttering to myself while the threads of the next story weave themselves into memories and impressions in my head.  I&amp;#8217;ve given workshops and planned others and all the while the website slept in the background.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Not everyone minded.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There are regular queries from groups looking for a speaker or a tutor and occasionally ( and best of all) people who&amp;#8217;ve attended talks and workshops in the past get in touch and say, &amp;#8216;I did what you advised!  I&amp;#8217;ve started/finished the book!&amp;#8217;  A couple have even reached the publication stage and to them I say, &amp;#8216;Well done you!&amp;#8217;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Only one query was unsuccesssful so far. &lt;strong&gt; Virginia Water Wine Appreciation Society&lt;/strong&gt; - your email address isn&amp;#8217;t working and my response bounces back with an undeliverable apology.  Can you get in touch again, please?  The answer to your query was, yes. &lt;img src=&#34;https://www.adriennedines.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif&#34; alt=&#34;;-)&#34; class=&#34;wp-smiley&#34; /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
