    Words, sentences, paragraphs and hieroglyphics.

    Not just a moustache, but a surprisingly vicious self-defence tool.

    Thanks for friending me Iain. I love Daniel Woodrell! He's in the anthology I'm editing. Did you read Winter's Bone yet?

  • Iain Rowan

    Hi Laura. Death of Sweet Mister is one of my favourite crime novels. I've got Winter's Bone here now, and am saving it for the right moment. Am I the only one who does this with novels that I am really looking forward to reading?

    Hey, Iain, nice to meet you! Just been blogging about Bullet - the editor used to live just around the corner. Now I find another inkie at the seaside! Must be something in the air.
