Ξenia Aleξiou	May 21 2008 10:10 AM Hi there and thanks for the add. Have a great day, Xenia
YORK LESBIAN ARTS FESTIVAL	May 21 2008 2:42 AM Dropping by to send you some love.
Jo Anne	May 16 2008 10:06 AM good for you. Have a great weekend.
Virago	Apr 29 2008 9:02 AM You remember you chose Ani in our competition to win 'The Room of Lost Things'? Well, now she's read the book she left me a message: 'Just wanted to say thanks for the book...what a lovely read! A great mixture of people, place and politics; journeys and geography; love and loss; all mixed up with secrets, lies, and petty crime. very satisfying from start to finish. Despite being from Bristol rather than London I could really identify with the sense of the city - with its multiple layers, invisible boundaries and hidden gems that only a 'local' would know about.' What a nice winner.
Lynn	Apr 10 2008 7:56 AM Looking forward to getting to know your work, Stella!
Jen-fleur Jordan	Apr 7 2008 10:14 AM Wow! You really are Orange! Most wonderful.........
Virago	Mar 25 2008 4:18 AM As Stella is too humble to post the great reviews she's had for THE ROOM OF LOST THINGS, as her publisher, we'll have to big her up ourselves: ‘A spellbinding lovesong to a part of London usually demonised ... a book of great sensitivity and passion ... Five years may have been a long time to wait for applause, but in the case of The Room of Lost Things, the wait is worth it’ Independent on Sunday ‘Five years in the writing, it shows Duffy reaching a new peak. Whether or not this proves her break-out book commercially, it is certainly a far greater artistic achievement than anything she has written previously’ Daily Telegraph (sorry Stella, but yay, girl!)

Richard	Mar 20 2008 7:57 AM Dear Stella, for me Immaculate Conceit is still tops. Rxxx
Virago	Mar 18 2008 3:00 AM THE ROOM OF LOST THINGS is on the Orange Longlist. CONGRATULATIONS!
Virago	Mar 14 2008 9:14 AM Great reading last Monday! And it was really lovely to see you. All you people out there looking at Stella's profile, I strongly recommend that you go to one of her readings. She's multi-talented - not only a great writer but also an actor and improvisor, so her events are just brilliant. Go! you won't regret it (and I know we're her publisher and therefore biased, but really, go and see for yourself!)
Stella Duffy	Mar 7 2008 6:52 AM no, no champagne sadly, what it did involve though were some lovely people at Braintree Library, a rather nice chilled white, sausage and mash beforehand with the Mrs, and even a bunch of book sales. and Duchy ginger biscuits. all good.
