About to speak about The Butler Did It on BBC Scotland's morning radio show hosted  by very funny man Fred MacAuley. I have almost lost my voice, so about to gargle with salt, otherwise it'll be like The Artist on radio - which just wouldn't work:)

The Book Tour

At the weekend I fly out to the UK to promote The Butler Did It, available here:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1780575610/ref=s9_simh_gw_p14_d0_g14_i1?pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=0ZMG5C31P4KK6TM7THWB&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=467128533&pf_rd_i=468294


I'll try to keep a daily diary via this blog.

Tomorrow (Friday) there should be a profile in Scotland's national newspaper, the Scotsman.

You should find it on www.scotsman.com

Ten days till my book comes out. My dream is to fly to Heathrow and see it in the airport bookshop. Of course like all books it needs the oxygen of publicity. We'll see...meanwhile I'm enjoying the adventure!

Only Connect

Went to LA Times bookfair yesterday. Met two writer-visionaries, John Green and Barry Eisler, who are engaging with the new technology to establish communities with their readers.  That is the future - a much more connected, interactive relationship between writer and reader.

The Butler Did It Cover

My book cover. What do you think, folks?

Would this induce you to buy the book, or even to become one of those raving rabid loyal fans social media gurus twitter on about?

The book, which tells of my true and terrifying encounters with a serial killing butler, is available now on Amazon.co.uk.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Butler-Did-Terrifying-Encounters/dp/1780575610/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1335142906&sr=8-1

 and in all good UK bookshops.

It is also available on Amazon.com.

And the good news is that as I write this, at 3am on the morning of 12 April, California time, the book has leapt into the Number One spot in the Hot New Releases (serial killers) charts.

Rowling leaves her literary agency

Another sign of the digital tsunami sweeping all before it. As revealed in the Bookseller, JK Rowling has left her agency to join a much more digital-savvy operation . Another nail in the coffin of the traditional book business.
