One does feel like that, with social media, does one not?

I wonder what China Miéville is up too these days...

And why I have to wait for his next book (the one with KR was a disaster, in my very humble opinion).

It took a bit of figuring out, but I managed train tickets from London to Brighton at £16 return.

Eurostar however is a tad more expensive.

Yes, I always plan in advance...

Only published two books this year, in Dutch (and a number of shorter fiction). But there are the two 'noir' novels in the US, so all in all not a bad year...

Please, leave a nice comment on Amazon and elsewhere, and help this suffering author.

Gonna give his story collection another go...

One of the most creative speculative fiction writers of the last decades. Rank him with M. John Harrison.

But, on a more serious note, this is what's in store for us (or which is actually already happening).

While writing and editing a couple of short stories, I need some entertainment, as I'm sure you do...

WIP is being interrupted by jotting down extensive notes for a spy/crime novel that I want to write (next year).

The idea is to do another book like 'Absinthe', which is until now my most successful novel.
