On the weekend I spent a couple of hours outside a shopping centre with other concerned locals in my area raising awareness of planned cuts to our libraries. If we want to save them we need to make the powers-that-be aware of how important they are to our communities.

It's a double header at the @yeovillitfest today, being interviewed by @radiomukhers for QUANTUM OF MENACE and then interviewing him for THE BURNING GROUNDS. There will be chaos... I'm properly prepped with James Bond socks, a gift from the man, the myth @m.w.craven ...

A wonderful launch event for Quantum of Menace hosted by Simply Books & chaired by Bondishly sauve @TMLoganAuthor Music, Bond costumes, Bond songs, & a passionate crowd. I wore a Nehru jacket in homage to Sean Connery in Dr No. And then Tim and I ended up in a Chinese restaurant.

Looking windswept and dangerous at the Isle of Wight Literary Fest . Or at least in danger of being swept into the sea. Will be talking later about my books, taking a long detour from Bombay in 1950 to the modern day world of James Bond - and Q.

It's #BookshopDay supported by @booksaremybag ... I'll be buying a couple of books. In the meantime, this is the perfect time to pre-order a copy of QUANTUM OF MENACE, out Oct 23rd. It really is a beautiful looking hardback! Also available in audiobook and e-book.

From Cornwall to Wales... A suitably sinister pic at the national writing centre with Alis Hawkins as we set out the murdery beats of crime fiction. A beautiful venue, where, apparently, former PM David Lloyd George lived and died. (No foul play was suspected.)
