It’s basically a source of information about the books and films, a place to find out more about forthcoming projects, extracts and articles, and a home for various things that I am passionate about. There are also one or two frankly dishonest photographs in which I appear much more youthful and energetic than I really am.
Websites are a bit of a departure for me, so I hope that this does the trick. Please send me any suggestions, questions or comments. The best thing about writing for a living is the distractions, and I welcome them whole-heartedly.
