And so I had to go to work. It was great – especially meeting up with Michelle Borowitz and Steve again from Heirloom Books. Lovely folks, both of them. And my agent came out to see me too, as did Ruth Dudley Edwards – an absolute diamond among authors. If you haven’t tried any of her books, for goodness’ sake, buy a copy of “Murdering Americans”. It is hilarious, a brilliant satire on the modern education system in universities in America. Wonderful.

Ruth came up with my favourite quote of the event: when told of another nonsensical political decision, she moaned gently to herself “Pity the poor satirist!”

I had two great panels, and have made some good friends from them. Especially close to my heart is the humorous crime writer Tim Myers, who has generously sent me a couple of his books: Dead Men Don’t Lye, and Not A Flicker of Doubt. Excellent tales, and thanks again, Tim!
