Only three days to go to the publication of A Shadowed Livery and I’m becoming nervous. There’s an on-line launch party on Friday 24th April which is a first for me. I know there are people popping in from several different time zones so it will be interesting to see how that works. Then I’ve a couple of readings planned over the next week, one at the Stratford Literary Festival.

To top all of this off, I’ve heard that the novel has been nominated for a Crime Writers’ Association John Creasey Dagger Award. There’s some excellent competition but it’s very flattering to receive the nomination.
