The Cornish writer's break keeps getting interrupted with news on The Knife of Never Letting Go, but it's all good, so I can hardly complain.

After the niceness of the being one of Amazon.com's Best Books of 2008 and the additional pleasure of being on the Carnegie Medal longlist, you can now watch a video-taped interview of me on Borders Books television!

Yes, actual video footage!  Thrill as you listen to my tortured Greg Rusedski accent!  Swoon as you can see just exactly where I'm going to have a double chin in ten years!  Vividly imagine the lengthy interval when we were interrupted by a genial drunken Welshman!

Apparently, I really look like this.
