…I hope. Well, it’s safe to say that someone took the book after I left it on a ledge next to Juliet’s balcony in Verona. Not ...

The Bookmark Show on World Radio in Switzerland has reviewed Silence! It’s an English language show presented in the format of three authors each choose a book then discuss it. ...

I joined Twitter last week, Thursday, as mentioned at the end of the last blog post. I had this idea that I wasn’t going to be micro-blogging every few minutes, like when I changed the TV channel or got a cup of tea. Well three days and 50 tweets later I realised how easy it is to get sucked in. ...

One of the things I like about my new status of PhD student is the flexibility to stay at home (or actually not at home much!) with my son when it’s the school holiday. ...

I’ve been ill for a week now with something that started off as a simple cough and cold and turned out to be lesbian flu again. For those who don’t know, lesbian flu is a very rare mutation and has a worse prognosis than man flu, resulting in the patient almost dying. Of...

This article appeared in the Western Mail magazine yesterday (07 February 2009). Soon after Silence was reviewed in the paper, I was invited to contribute to the Author’s Notes section and wrote this piece. Since then I hadn’t heard back so assumed it wasn’t going to be used. Luck...

Uni was closed today but I didn’t find out till I’d driven all the way from Cardiff to Swansea! That’s about 35 miles. Got there to find the library shut and tutorials cancelled, did an hour’s work in my office and came home again. So I h...

In case anyone else got a Sony E-Reader for Christmas like I did, check the reset button! Mine didn’t work and it was stuck on one screen from Saturday until yesterday when I took it back to Waterstone’s. Fair play to the store, they swapped it with no quibble. I ...
