First up, there’s been great news on the ASDA front. Following my successful book signing at their Norwich store a couple of weeks ago, I’ve been invited back for a repeat performance! The next signing will occur on Saturday 1st November from 11 a.m. to 12.30 p.m., so if you couldn’t make it down last time, feel free to come say hi and snag yourself a signed copy of Justice For All – and don’t forget, Christmas is just round the corner if you’re looking for the ideal gift!
And now for the rest of the publicity update. As regular readers will know, I was part of a feature on UK thriller writers in the October edition of Arena magazine. For the interview, I was asked to provide punchy, pithy, funny, flippant, answers to a long list of questions. From this list, a number were chosen for publication, and some of them were then edited for brevity. Click here to read both the published interview, as well as a world exclusive Director’s Cut! (i.e. the full list of answers as initially provided to Arena).
I’m also due to be interviewed by Jochem Steen, who runs an excellent website dedicated to fictional private investigators – www.sonsofspade.tk. A review copy of Justice For All has been dispatched to Jochem’s base in the Netherlands, and once the review and interview go live, I’ll be sure to let you all know.
On the writing front, work on the third novel in the Zac Hunter series, The Beholder, continues to go well. The total word count passed 70,000 last week, which means that I’m a good two-thirds of the way into this first draft. I’ve now reached the stage where I look forward to writing each day now (which trust me, isn’t always the case), firstly because I know that there’s lots of action coming up and I do enjoy getting my teeth into a good action scene, and secondly, because the finishing line is now in sight!
Cheers,
Steve
