Why would I want to sit at the computer on a day like this? Luckily the lot of an independent publisher is such that I can take books out into the garden to read, and still be working! Thank god for the cordless/ mobile phone.

So I’m off to sit in the garden, very probably with a cat or two, as well as the four or five books I plan to talk about for the Cityread panel at Ealing Library this Saturday afternoon, and work out (to some extent) what I’m going to say, and which illustrative quotes I’m going to want .  If you are in the area come along!
