Come see me in a week! In Scotland! Before they leave!

The Edinburgh Festival started today, and I've got two events on 16 August!  The first, a book event for More Than This (and all my other books, too) is SOLD OUT but people do drop out on the day, so check into standby tickets!  You stand a very good chance.

The second is in the evening, I'm giving the first ever Siobhan Dowd Memorial Lecture.  It looks, surprisingly, like I might end up talking about love. Hm.  Anyway, Iongest speech I've ever given, so I'm nervy and freaked.  Come along!

And as I said before, if you are a Deutsche Leser, then I'm at the Berlin Literature Festival in September for a WHOLE BUNCH of things, including the Children's Program Keynote Address.  Come along if you're in my favourite world city!

Greetings to the new commenters (including Rika, who left early).  Hope to see you all soon.
