I told you the proofs were done for The Broken Circle , yes? Nick's been reading it as a double check and he's come up with a query. Isn't that typical of a man? Fortunately, I have the best copy editor in the world so I'll see what she says about it. Anyway, I've posted a picture of the cover just because I can. And just because I love it.

I'm doing Lancashire's Shout About Books festival this week. Events in Fleetwood, Knott End, Accrington and Burnley. Even though I am from Yorkshire and am naturally wary of the North West, I always have a good time. Lancashire know how to put on a good event in a library. It will be good to go to Burnley.
