And it's here!  Publication day in the UK for A Monster Calls!  Hope you like it, can't wait to hear what you think.  Around the world, it'll be out in Australia and New Zealand on 1 July, and in America and Germany in September, so not long!

To celebrate publication, I'm doing quite a few things.  There's a blog tour that's started with an interview, extract and review on the Mountains of Instead site and will be continuing through some excellent others over the next couple days.  Do definitely check them out!

I'm recording some radio interviews, and I look to be on Open Book with Mariella Frostrup on Radio 4 on Sunday and both Jim Kay and I will be on Book Cafe on BBC Scotland on Monday, but I'll keep you posted on those.  I'm doing a couple of public events next week in Birmingham and Dublin, check here for free tickets.  And then the Hay Festival at the end of the month with David Almond.

And this is exciting, looks like I'm going to be live TV on Ireland AM next Thursday morning, so tune in!

Greetings to the new commenters, but mainly just to shout that it's publication day.  Phew!
