At 10:13am on June 7, 2010, Amanda Ward said…: Hey Chris, Are you watching or even yet participating in, Manxus TTus - or avoiding it like the plague ?! Couldn't believe pics I've just seen of the crowds. Still, a wonderful atmosphere; at least it was good fun when I was there a couple of times.

At 9:36pm on April 11, 2010, Amanda Ward said…: Hi Chris; Just a few suggestions for future GTGT locations (apart from Rome which was already mentioned a couple of times so no doubt in the pipeline, and I think Venice) but how about Nice, Prague, Rio, and ...Monaco.

At 6:14am on March 17, 2010, Julie Morrigan said…: Crimefest... alas, probably not. We'll see. I love the thought of seeing everyone, but the thought of Bristol (more to the point, travelling to and from) doesn't fill me with glee. Hey ho!

At 9:29pm on March 16, 2010, Julie Morrigan said…: Hey, Chris, I was just reading (in the Bookseller briefing) that THE GOOD THIEF'S GUIDE TO PARIS has been shortlisted for the Last Laugh Award at Crimefest. Many congratulations, it's well deserved and I'm absolutely thrilled for you. I loved the book - I hope you win! :)

At 12:30am on March 7, 2010, Amanda Ward said…: Hi Chris Thoroughly enjoyed reading your Amsterdam GTGT (ah the nostalgia, as I used to live there - in addition to IOM !) and am thus sourcing your GTG to Paris - then will move on to the Vegas one; want to do them in order. I see the Dutch version is entitled NACHTDIEF in AMSTERDAM...pretty apt as it means Night-thief in A'dam.
Hope you get some good hype in Port Erin in April. You might like to know I did you a very positive review on Amazon for GTGT A'dam.

At 12:06am on December 2, 2009, Lee Hughes said…: Yup, was brought over at the age of 2 and the boat back always seems to be cancelled no matter how often the locals tell me 'There's a boat in the morning' Congrats on your two books. I'll have to have a read now. Paul D. Brazill an English writer living in Poland mentioned you lived on the island.

At 9:32pm on November 16, 2008, Hull Crime Fiction said…: Hi Chris. Nice to find you on here. Best of luck with the new book. The first is constantly on my library list, but our paths never seem to collide!

At 12:39am on July 22, 2008, carole gill said…: thanks Chris! I will let you know.
It's sounds so good, too.
Yup, I try to have the page as interesting as I can, because I don't have a book yet to put up there!
It's like a woman buying Bride's Magazine before her boyfriend proposes or something!
and thanks so much for your good wishes.
