Out of Office: July's "book of the month"

I’m really delighted to announce that “Out of Office” has just been announced “book of the month” by the deeply influential “bookgroup” website. Previous authors to have been nominated include Hilary Mantel, Cormac McCarthy and Colm Toibin, so it’s a massive honour to be in such distinguished company.

As well as a review of the novel which you can read here, the website has published an interview with me which you can read here.

My only tiny regret is that once again Lucy and/or Lauren at Legend saw fit to send them a truly horrendous photo I took myself with a timer years ago when I urgently needed to send them a pic and my wife wasn’t around to take a good one. I’m sure Lauren and Lucy each have a pic somewhere they’d sooner the world didn’t see and one day revenge will be mine! Ha ha ha! (sound of maniacal laughter)...
