I was listening to late night radio last night when this question came up:
What was the first book ever written using a typewriter?
I didn’t know the answer but I wonder if anyone reading this does? I’ll send a copy of my latest book Married Again to the Millonaire to the first person who gives me the right answer.
The clue is it was in 1875.
And talking of Married Again to the Millionaire, it’s just had a lovely review from WeWriteRomance which you can read here:

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain.
Great question! I have to admit I've sort of blocked out any experience I had with a typewriter – it must have been traumatic
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer
The first published book ever written on a typewriter was The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. Mark Twain used a Remington in 1875.
Two clever people out there who have given me the right answer. On hindsight I guess I should have asked you to email me your answers so that no one else knew what your answers were. Next time…

Laney, my email address hasn't appeared, I see, and I can't get it to work. But you'll find it at the bottom of my web pages.
Hi!
Sorry to be so late in responding; I haven't been near the computer lately (which is a total shocker)!
I just emailed you the info.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
