  1. Another sad day for booksellers. Another notch on the bedpost for Amazon. http://bit.ly/7hbimj
  2. @crimeficreader Thanks for passing this on. I've sent a message to the landlady of the Fox & Badger. I've had two very fine lunches there.
  3. Classic comment from daughter No.1 on using squat toilets in Borneo: 'Hey I'm getting really good at this. I can even aim.'
  4. Classic comment from princess No. 2, aged 12: 'Anyone who could teach me how to crochet is now dead.'
  5. I must be the father of daughters. I just spent an hour on YouTube trying to help my 12 yo learn how to crochet.
  6. The new novel is underway. No name yet. I managed 1000 words. From small acorns, yada, yada, yada...
  7. @bustedflushpres My ears are burning. I'm finally home after being trapped in LA for two days after missing a connection from NY. Big storm.
  8. Jetlag is the work of the devil. 5am and I've been awake 2 hours. South Africa is a memory. Dust storms in Sydney turned my plane red.
  9. Book delivered. Two sets of editing notes - one from the US, one from the UK. Both entirely different. Who do I keep happy?
  10. @smiksa Thanks for that. Mmmmm rather disappointing about the lack of a press release. Normally the news races around the world.
  11. @smiksa No idea. I've been trying to discover the same thing. I thought Chloe would win. She had to be the hottest favourite in the field.
  12. My editor just picked up a mistake in my new m/s. Apparently 'Leisl' in the Sound of Music should be 'Liesl'. How does he know this stuff?
  13. My wife's birthday. Instead of lasting a day it's an entire festival - The Festival of Vivien - which finishes in mid-Sept. She's worth it.
  14. @david_hewson re will your title be a bestseller. Da Vinci Code has only a 34% chance of being a bestseller. He should have used BOLLOCKS.
  15. Will your title be a bestseller? Put it to the test. http://bit.ly/pOJoL My last one SHATTER had a 63.7% chance. Mmmm. Maybe next time.
  16. @mariekehardy You poor thing. This is cold comfort but I have managed to twice lose six hours work. That's why I keep suicide pills.
  17. @mysterybooks Bless Linwood. My ears weren't exactly burning, although I am basking in the glow of having delivered the new book. Whew!
  18. 29C today in Sydney. And they call this winter! Spent the morning on the beach. The afternoon doing my final read through. Monday is D-day.
  19. @djmont Hope to see you at Bouchercon, David.
  20. @bustedflushpres thank you. As I'm sitting here desperately trying to finish the next one - it's nice to feel appreciated.
