Well, I'm only back from a short holiday and heading out again!  So a quick hit.  My next trip is tomorrow to the Hay Festival for my event with the superb David Almond on Saturday at 5.30pm.  Hope to see some of you there!

And there've been some excellent articles and reviews on A Monster Calls, including one in the Irish Times magazine (with a photo of me that isn't what I choose to think I look like, but there you go, can't have everything), and reviews in the Times and the Sunday Times, where it was Children's Book of the Week.

There was also this interesting thing in Total Film.  Hmm....

Don't forget to follow me on Twitter (@Patrick_Ness), greetings to the new commenters, and I'm off again...
