Interesting week coming up…

Allegedly there is a chinese curse that "wishes you to live in interesting times". I feel that might be applied to me at present. Next week I will spend Monday in London, then hopefully Tuesday and Wednesday will be spent arranging a trip to Edinburgh. The reason for this?

On Monday Vintage books are hosting an open day to mark their 21st anniversary and they've arranged for 30 guests to come, meet with a panel of publishing industry experts and learn the secrets of how Random House and their numerous imprints get things done. On the same day I'll be meeting with a promoter for the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Now, nothing is confirmed until we've met, but there's the chance that I will be performing one or more book signings at the festival.

Oh, as an afterthought, I'll be spending Thursday and Friday selecting stories. I'll tell you more about that on May 22nd!
