Much fun and frivolity was had at the Crown pub book signing in Northill last night. I’ve had signings in some pretty glamorous places, but I have to admit this one, at my parents local pub is always my favourite (and most raucous). It’s the place I grew up – the village, not the pub, [...]

First was the gorgeously quaint Crown pub in the Bedfordshire village where I grew up. It was a great turn out and my dad [...]

Uh-oh, Sebastian’s joined Facebook! Do you dare be his friend? Don’t say we didn’t warn you…

The Welsh leg of my book signing tour went very well last week. It was held at the rather groovy Cameo Club in the gorgeous Cardiff district of Pontcanna. With its grand three-storey town houses and tree-lined streets, Pontcanna is known as the trendy media part of Cardiff. That’s why I live there of course, [...]
