I’m away for a few days, heading to the coast, plotting books, seeing old friends, drinking wine in the sunshine, or watching storms roll in, treading slowly through nostalgia. In the meantime, here’s by far the best band of the last couple of years, Beirut.
My questions are to the girl on the sofa: are you married, my dear, and if not, are you willing to be taken out for cocktails?

Born in 1981, live in Nottingham, UK. I write fantasy fiction, represented by the John Jarrold Literary Agency. I've sold a two-novel deal to Peter Lavery at Macmillan (Tor UK), for a noir epic fantasy out early 2009. Good things: music, books, guitars, anything made by Apple. Escaping the city. The Riesling grape. Nostalgia.

Oi! You be good to her.
Anyway, she has, I believe, a book in her hand. Which is a fine substitute for holding something musical.
