I was in The Sussex Bookshop in South Street Chichester this morning, signing copies of The Dead Night Sky. I support great independent bookshops like this. The staff were lovely. Next week they are featuring local authors, so I was very grateful for the kind invitation.

Okay. I seriously need to put more effort into finishing this. These books don’t write themselves.
