I have just been informed that publication date for City of Flowers has been postponed till 7th March. I know that most of you, particularly Duchessa and Lavita and Waiting4feb, will be VERY cross about this but please direct all complaints to Bloomsbury, not me!
It is apparently much better for the promotion of the book, i.e. they think more copies will be sold if they publish then, and a slot has come vacant on that date which wasn't available before.
As you can see, these decisions are not made by authors. Sorry!

Hi guys, I'm back. Not just from the US but now also from Iceland.
And although I shall never defect from Italy, I feel a definite urge towards writing something Nordic.
Am about to finish a City of Flowers prequel story to go on the site, like the ones I did for COM and COS. I'll let you know when it goes up.
Welcome to all new mermbers, some of whose nicknames are familiar to me. And thanks for the distinguished company you put me in when listing your favourite books.
Your devoted author

Am happy to be back in UK/Talia, where I have just read the proofs of City of Flowers (evil laugh).
Yes, the story is called Third Time Lucky and I hope it will be up by the end of the week but I have been brung low (like Sam Vimes) by a common or garden cold and am not fully functional.
I have been enjoying reading all your favourite books and films. Has anyone seen Stage Beauty, by the way? I found it very interesting.
Must go and drink my lemsip. Sniff. I think I am no longer a vulture.
