Back from a great teaching week at the Arvon Foundation in Yorkshire.  Really terrific group of people and excellent writing.

Breaking news:  I'm going to be at Foyle's bookshop on Charing Cross Road on Thursday, 22 July, 6.30-8.30pm for the launch of Losing It, to which I've contributed a brand new short story (first review here!).  It won't just be me, there'll also be the most excellent Keith Gray, who edited Losing It, along with Bali Rai, Mary Hooper, and Sophie McKenzie.

Tickets are FREE, just email events@foyles.co.uk to reserve a place.  Even though it's for Losing It, I'll also happily sign copies of Monsters of Men and the others, too.  Hope to see you there!

Huge greetings to all the new commenters (too many to name)!  Some great new ones, too.  And so many that I'm really going to have to start thinking about a re-design, huh?  Hmm, time to put some thinking into that...
