It's been some time since my last blog. But I've been flat out in New York at the Book Expo America. It was truly something. Chatting with Steve Berry, Michael Connelly, David Morrell and a host of other huge stars was electrifying. And all, unlike film actors I have worked with in the past, were modest and charming. Says a lot for writers! I wonder which am I? Hmmmm. Sunday, when I had my signing, was a half day and supposed to be quiet. Indeed it was. But ten minutes to ten a queue began forming and low and behold I signed for an hour an a half! Amazing. The people who queued told me the word had gotten around about Worst Nightmares. I can tell yoiu it was a great feeling.

Cyber reviews from book clubs and blogs from people who read a LOT have been wunderbar. Have a look at my site in a few days as we're adding the reviews.

And another wunderbar review. I'm astounded by the quality of the literary criticism.

Thanks!!!

LOVED THIS review!  There are people out there who really 'dig' my book. That's really encouraging.

Loved the review I'll post at the bottom of this blog. Intelligent and well written - a rare thing. So Book Expo America looms tomorrow. Never been to one this size. Should be fascinating.

Tramped the sidewalks yesterday checking out SoHo, Tribecca etc. Didn't spot de Niro. Maybe he's doing stuff? A movie? Cooking up a storm at the T Grill? 

LOVED this very intelligent review...  http://www.rampant-books.com/mgt_amazon_sales_rank.htm  Makes you feel you're being appreciated on the levels you wanted.

A great review in Book-Club-Queen. http://www.book-club-queen.com/good-book-reviews.html

An interesting thought de jour. Must one like the lead character? Well, I suppose one has to a bit otherwise you'll not wish to read on. Of course what I was doing with my character in WN was attempting to make the reader think. "Hey, what the hell did he do that for?" yet understand that they might very well have made the same mistake and feel sorry for the man. It's always satisfying when someone one gets to hate in a novel gets his just deserts. And I certainly give it to Dermot in spades. And it's great when the characters we get to like don't end up dead. I try to do that. Hmmmm.

Sold out at Borders Century City. They are re-ordering. Hey-ho! Can this be happening all over the U S of A? Let's hope.

AMAZED that one can buy a dozen eggs for 99 cents at the 99 Cent Store. That's breakfast for a family of six for a dollar!

It's off to the Big Apple soon to visit Book Expo America. Can't wait to eat junk food at all the various carts. And Zabar's.... And the Russian Tea Rooms.... and Tiffany's opposite the Plaza.... And the Plaza.....And the Jazz.... And the Tribecca Grill  (who knows, Bobby might just be there on the day...)
