Re: Books Quarterly
I saw it Waterstone's this morning and I liked the look of it too so I have ordered a copy. I'm afraid that I am not an iPhone man, so I searched around a bit for a signed copy!Eddie Muir wrote:Glad it arrived safely, Nigel!
I like the look of Dead Man's Cove too and will probably buy a copy.
I saw another book that I liked the look of as well, Mistress of the Storm by Melanie Welsh (M L Welsh on the cover). This one is based on the Isle of Wight. A harder job finding my signed copy on this one, but I think I have succeeded, I should just be satisfied with an ordinary one from Amazon like all normal people!

Re: Books Quarterly
A very generous gesture, Nigel, but I would prefer the author's signature!

I'm sure Nigel wouldn't mind cross-dressing to imitate the writer for you!

Re: Books Quarterly
Ming, my sweetheart; I don't know if I shall kiss you or thump you when next we meet.

Re: Books Quarterly
Nigel, I'm pretty sure two people will object very strongly to the kisses! 
Doesn't mean, though, that I want that thump.
