Anyway, here’s what I’ve got planned…. Monday: I’ve got scads of new books to tell you about! All I have to do is find… Read more

Hello from Aberdeen!

This week, I’m in Aberdeen, Scotland for work. It’s a nice little city with a harbor, some shopping, lots of pretty old buildings and green hillsides, covered with sheep.

This week!

Wow! I can’t believe it’s a whole week that I’ve been away from the website.

Hello from Cincinnati! (Not all of my business travels are to exotic places, sadly.) I have spent most of the weekend locked in a small conference room without any time to read or any time to myself, really, and I will be glad to get on the road home. Cincinnati is pretty close, so I drove down and I am… Read more

This week, I am home! This is my first full week at home since January, so I plan to enjoy it. I’ve also got some cool stuff to share. Monday: Let me tell you about what came in my mailbox!

This week, I am in Huntington Beach, California! Sadly, it’s not going to be as warm as I was hoping, but the beach is still the beach. Here’s what I’ve got coming up: Monday: I got a couple of new books last week to tell you about. Tuesday: My teaser this week is from Angelmaker by Nick Harkaway. I’m about half-way… Read more
