German Ask, an appearance in Preston, and musical comments...

The German version of The Ask and the Answer is now out!  The first translation of it anywhere in the world.  It's called Das dunkle Paradies ("The Dark Paradise"), so if you're German-speaking, check it out!  Kudos, too, to my excellent German translator Petra Koob-Pawis.

I also wanted to confirm one of the comments (who got there before I did) that I'll be signing at the Preston branch of Borders Books on Tuesday, 13 October, at 5pm.  Call 01772 703856 for info.  Hope to see you there.

And...
