Back from meeting some very nice people over the weekend at the Cambridge Festival of Ideas, including Cristin who introduced herself on the train (Hi, Cristin!  And yes, I've already changed the title of Chap 14; it was wrong anyway).

I also had a review in the Guardian over the weekend of Dave Eggers' novelisation of Where the Wild Things Are, called The Wild Things.  It'll pretty much make you want to buy the original all over again.  No bad thing.

I've also just discovered that Monsters of Men is already available for pre-order on Amazon.co.uk, six months before release.  No cover or info up yet, but hey, there you go.  The cover, by the way, is going to be really, really cool, wait 'til you see it.

And hello as ever to the new commenters, Strange Person, Calum (thanks, Calum, and best of luck with your own writing), Marianne, Laura, Cora, Samantha, Kendra (that's a very kind offer, Kendra, but I have to regretfully decline), Pixy, Seonagh, our very own Cristin, and Jack, who's slyly trying to manipulate the ending by bringing up the dreaded "fashion".  I can only follow my muse, Jack, and see where it takes me...
