I’m really thrilled today to showcase the new edition of my book. It’s the small format paperback of The First Time but whilst we were at it, we thought we’d give it a makeover. So here it is, Losing It: How we popped our cherry over the last 80 years.*

One doesn’t always get the chance to thank people for their help so whilst I am here, I’d like to show my appreciation for the many people who helped with the new cover. Lots showed title choices and visuals to friends and got feedback for me. Others at work looked through bunches of mocked up covers and gave their (sometimes hilarious) responses. ‘She looks DEAD’ was one of my favorites. ‘Too hairy and too oral’ was another. My marketing man at Icon Books was brilliant at translating my mood boards and scribbled notes into a creative brief, picking a great illustrator and bobs your uncle, a book cover was born. I love it. I hope you do too.

*note: please also support your local bookshops with the purchasing of books!

Chers Kate ... and thank you too

I tried buying this off amazon but when I click the link for the kindle edition it takes me to another book, which naively enough I bought and read but it is not your book. I tried several times and the same thing happens. Might you have a look into it? Thanks. Andreea

Andrea, thanks so much for bringing this to my attention. Ive emailed my publisher who will be able to sort it out. Its the London Book Fair this week so they may be out of the office today but worst case scenario, we can send you a print copy of the book if that helps? Ill mail you as soon as I hear from them but sorry that youve had this problem!

Hi Andrea, apparently you can buy it from that page but have to click the little plus sign to get alternative versions. Here is a direct link:http://www.amazon.co.uk/Losing-It-Popped-Cherry-ebook/dp/B00B1B1VDM/ref=tmm_kin_title_1?ie=UTF8qid=1366101885sr=8-1

You should also be able to get a refund for the other book by going to Manage Your Kindle, and clicking the Actions button next to the title return, and selecting Return for refund.

But if you have any problems, just let me know and I will put you a book in the post! With best wishes, Kate Monro

Thanks Kate. I managed to get it from the link you sent me. Looking forward to getting stuck into it. I love your blog although I have not managed to catch up reading it, having only discovered it a year or so ago... I am somewhere in November 2009 I think... Getting there. Anyhow, thanks again.
