To help launch the year, they have produced an advert --- http://www.youtube.com/2008yearofreading-- a mash of celebrities reading out loud. It is wonderful.

My ninth book has been accepted -- A Question of Impropriety. It comes out in November 08 in the UK. I was thrilled and delighted that they kept my title. This is the first time that I have had a title stick since The Gladiator's Honour.

I am trying to figure out what I shall use this blog for. Best of? Writing techniques? News about my books? Book reviews?
