March 1st

Good god, where did January go?  We are now, officially, only 6 weeks from the publication of the Minority Council.  For lo!  The cover has appeared on the blog, and you can read more about the book in the books section… and yes, it’s all getting a bit imminent really.  I would celebrate on the day itself, but exasperatingly I’ll be in a technical rehearsal, struggling, sweating and cursing my way through a lighting plot.  I might indulge in a bit of extra cake, however…

For those who are wondering, my warning remains – do not read this book on the kindle.  For my full rant on the theme of why, I suggest you look back through the blog, where you will discover a bitter tirade about the inability of kindles to cope with columns.  I know it may seem odd, it may seem petty, but honestly, when you get to the bit where suddenly it’s important, you’ll find it’s really very, very important.  I have no idea if there’s a hardcover version – my instinct is no, but I really dunno – but for everyone who’s just looking for a simple tale of fairy dust, monsters, sorcerers, Aldermen and things not to do while high in Canary Wharf, the paperback is getting pretty damn imminent!
