Charlie Livesey was my hero said:
Hurry up with the next edition. I got 'The Glint Of Silver' on Sunday and finding it it an enjoyable read. Don't spend my 97p all at once.



Afternoon all from a wet and dull Borehamwood. Thanks for the coffee Ak.

Did a good 2 hours this morning Charlie...about 20,000 words edited now; 80,000 to go! Unfortunately only about 35p of your 97p will end up in my pocket. Still I sold a copy to Denmark last week so perhaps that's the start of a reversal of the UK invasion of Scandinavian crime fiction. Wouldn't mind 0.1% of Steig Larson or Henning Mankel's sales...
 
Afternoon all :) thanks for the caramel latte Ak :)

On my trips back and forth over the years, you can be certain that if a single male below the age of sixty is in a car he will be pulled over and searched. Worse still if he is in a van it is 100% certain.
