Not the show (though I do occasionally watch) and not the scary end-of-the-world-Christ-is-coming song I used to have to sing in children's church when I was growing up (as in, I'm not making this up, "10 and 9, 8 and 7, 6 and 5 and 4, the countdown's getting lower every day".  Seriously!  It's practically abuse!).

No, it's countdown to launch of my new book.  Have I mentioned the title?  Yes, I have.  Here it is again with the amazon link.  The Knife of Never Letting Go, it's called.  I've just finalised the podcasts this week (more info when it's available), and there's a major campaign in the summer, which I can't talk about yet.  The book itself comes out 5 May, here and in Ireland, Australia and New Zealand.

Okay, enough pimping myself.  I'm swamped in work, though I did manage to squeeze in Small Change at the Donmar.  Excellent acting, but I did often feel like I was being read to.  On Monday, it's Vanessa Redgrave in The Year of Magical Thinking, where I expect to be radicalised about death.
