It's here! It's here! At times, I honestly wondered if it ever would be. Two years of writing, weeks of editing, proofreading, formatting and faffing. Phew! Reunions - Season Seven of Hiding Behind The Couch - is out today (19th April). I'll keep this short. Firstly, thank you x millions to: Nige, Andrea, Amy and Jor for editing, proofreading, reading and cheering me on. Thank you also to the Rainbow Snippets and WIPpet Wednesday authors for snippeteering, reading, commenting and sharing. If you haven't read any of the Hiding Behind The Couch series before, you could start with this book, but it does contain spoilers for previous stories. You can find a reading guide on this page: http://deb248211.blogspot.co.uk/p/hiding-behind-couch.html There is also the Hiding Behind The Couch website , which has some bonus extras as well as background information about the stories and what inspires me to write them. Lastly, there is my website: debbiemcgowan.co....

I fail at reading calendars. I've been telling everyone Reunions is out on Thursday 19th April, and it is out on the 19th of April, but that's...Wednesday. Tomorrow! Gulp. In my defence, writing Hiding Behind The Couch does require rather creative use of calendars. To illustrate, here a screenshot of my timeline calendar, which I use to keep track of characters' birthdays, ages, anniversaries and so on: Yes, OK, I know April 19th isn't a Thursday there, either, but my brain frazzes on numbers if I consciously think about what I'm doing. So, anyway, the long and short of it is this: Reunions   - Season Seven of Hiding Behind The Couch -  is out tomorrow! (Oh, and did you spot that little sneaky title up there, next to 'Reunions' in the screenshot? That's Season Eight...coming when it gets here. ;) ) FOR FUN...

So, yesterday (Sunday), I started my Reunions launch week really well by totally forgetting to run my giveaways while I was on Beaten Track Radio . That's typical of me...as is blaming Nige, and it was his fault. Honest. ;) Thank you to all of you who tuned in and listened on Sunday. I had a lot of fun, and your questions were awesome! Now, the whole point of these launch week shenanigans is to let people know about the release of Reunions , because I do have a few series readers, but it's been a couple of years since Season Six ( Two By Two ) was released, and I want to make sure everyone who's interested gets to know about it. If you are new to Hiding Behind The Couch you probably don't want to start with Reunions . Although I do re-introduce the characters in each of the main books (the 'Seasons'), there will be lots of spoilers relating to events that have happened previously. The good news is that you can download the first prequel ( Beginnings ...
