There's now a whole page up on the Scottish Book Trust website talking about my tour of Glasgow schools last week, which was terrific fun (lots of comments from people who were there).  It includes a video of me talking to Chris from SBT, and though I think I look pretty tired (I had a cold, but yeesh, I need a holiday), it was a great week.

Monsters of Men also got a fantastic mention in the Telegraph over the weekend.  They called it "one of the greatest ever sci-fi triliogies for teenagers", which is cool.  Also, an equally cool mention in the Post in Ireland on Sunday.  Nifty stuff.

Greetings to all the new commenters.  If you'd like to donate to my Marathon fund-raising, that'd be great, too, though at the minute, I'm completely snowed in, so training is suspended for a day or two.
