On The Cover


Wey hey!

I've always wanted to be on the cover of something.

Anything would do, as far as I'm concerned.

And to celebrate having just sent off the final manuscript to the proof-reader, I'm soon going down the Black Buoy to have a pint or three of Guinness (not too cold, mind) - just like one of the characters in the book does.

I can't help reflecting, however, on editor David Roberts and me having had to contend with a broken 'O' on his computer while we worked away tirelessly.

I'm sure that doesn't happen at HarperCollins.

Oh well.

Cheers!

In response, David pointed out that he hpes I have a lvely time at the Black Buy.

Helpful. Nt!
