A word from the attic

I've been locked away in the attic for the past couple of weeks, surviving on a diet of tea and shortbread – which keeps me typing, but may mean I have to enlarge the hatch in order to get out again. I'm busy working on my new book for OUP and really enjoying getting back into full-on storytelling mode. I always find first drafts precarious but exciting, especially when characters and events start to take over as I write.

Things have also been happening over at The Edge, with three new books coming out in the past two months, plus a whole host of interviews and features. It was my turn to write the Edge blog post this week – it's about comics and reading, and includes a great Calvin and Hobbes story – have a look if you get the chance.


Cheers for now and happy reading!
