Update from London
It’s been a while since my last post, I know… But it’s quality not quantity, n’est pas?
My book news to kick off. The paperback launch of NOT HAVING IT ALL last month went incredibly well, especially given the near non-arrival of the paperbacks.

Fortunately, due to an emergency order they made it just in time: 10.30am on the day of the event. (By then I felt almost as frazzled Bea Hudson in my book and the woman’s face gracing the cover.) The event didn’t have to be delayed after all, there was a full house, the actors performed the excerpts brilliantly (links to videos below – you can judge for yourself), I said what I meant to say without any major glitches, the cake didn’t collapse into a soggy heap due to lack of refrigeration, and most importantly everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. I certainly did.

Many thanks to my sterling readers Diana Berriman, Ian Skewis and Runilla Chilton, to Mr E who took videos of their performances, and not least to the Crouch End Waterstones staff who ensured that all went smoothly on the night – especially the manager Oliver Thelwall for his enthusiasm and resourcefulness leading up to the launch.

Watch the video of the Report on Suspicious Signs reading, starring TV/film actress Diana Berriman and Ian Skewis (author of A MURDER OF CROWS and narrator of the audiobook). Kurt, who’s away on a long business trip, starts to wonder if his wife might be interested in other women…
