Advance info! Already?

Today I revieved my Advance Information leaflets for Middle Watch. It won't come out till 1st April 2012 so it seems odd to be trying to get shops interested in it already when I haven't even seen the proofs as yet.

Do people not get tired of hearing about something so far in advance? I always tend to wait till it's a little closer to the release date and it's worked fine so far but perhaps with all the competition on hand I'd better start moving now!

I'll let you know when the podcast is up and running. It was fun to go to London for the day and be interviewed by Ian Skillicorn, owner of Short Story Radio. He put together the podcast for The Crimson Bed and devised National Short Story Week to promote the dying art of writing short stories. It has been hugely successful so far.
