Although I’m currently staying with friends in France, finishing off the second book, I will be talking on Radio Tyne Tees tomorrow (Friday 8th) at about 11.45am, thanks to the wonders of mobile communication. There will be a discussion inspired by Nick Clegg’s apparent desire to write a book and public comments are most welcome. I hope to shed a little light on the minefield that is commercial publishing, the e-book world and life after the first book. Not bad if I can do that in less than 10 minutes! If you can’t tune in, I’ll try to make it available here later in the week.

Don’t forget the literary festival reading on the 20th June – 7pm at the central library, Middlesbrough. Hope to see you there.
