> Man, weird night last night - I sat in this bar in SoHo - rain pouring - hard week. I just sat and sped through the last part of Dante's Fool - I literally couldn't put it down (what a cliche but so true). It was an amazing rush - and 4/5 pints later I just started bombarding the contacts I have here to get their shit together etc...I think I may have threatened SC with demonic summoning and subsequent torture....oops....I think he can take it :)

He was intrigued about Tesco and wondered how you got the deal with a publisher - good question? Anyway, it's done you in good stead - he'll be tackling the new books with renewed interest.

But you know how it’s getting impossible to work on cars because they’re so modern. That’s what’s happening to furnaces.”
