And even just now, you know, very recently I submitted book eight. You would think that I might have more confidence now, but I don't. When I send that novel in for the first time, it's pure terror that I experience, that I'm scared that it isn't good enough or that I might let people down. Because let's face it, there are lots of brilliant books in the world.

Yeah, it is incredible. It blows my mind to know that there are so many people around the world reading books that I've written in my shed.

I guess I spend so much time on my own that I don't always understand what is going on in the outside world to do with the books. I really do only come out for two or three weeks to do tour once a year and then I go back to the shed again. I'm a bit of a hermit. I suppose I am a bit like Grady Green in that way too. Yeah.

But it's always a surprise, you know, when we go to events and there are so many people. I remember we went to an event in St. Louis a couple of years ago and we arrived and my lovely publicist, Claire, who is here today, said to the lady when we arrived, is anyone here yet? And she said, yes, don't worry, we've already got 20 people. And I thought, oh, thank goodness.

You know, everyone, as authors, you're always scared of turning up to an event and either nobody's there or one man and his dog are there or... or someone turns up and it turns out really they wanted to meet Ruth Ware and they thought I was her and they're disappointed. That does not happen. It's never happened yet, but it might. You never know, do you? Did she comment on the book?

No, I don't think she did, but we got lots of other lovely comments. But this event where they said there's 20 people, I was so relieved. And it turned out I hadn't heard her. She said there's already 220 people. And so when we walked in, I was so confused. I thought maybe they turned up for another author and that they'd be disappointed it was me.
