I've created a special 'Author Discussion' forum which I'll make public nearer the time.

This is great. I look forward to seeing how it all develops. (My copy of The Crossroads arrived yesterday, so I hope to get to it at some point this month, preferably after uni ends for the year.)

Anna, I think you still have a chance at getting a copy of The Crossroads. I just received word this morning from Canongate Books. They said my copy, which I requested night before last, is already in the mail.

I'm pleased to see that Stewart is around and about. He's such a sly fella.
He's moderating us even when we don't see him! And everyone thought invisible men were only found in books! ;) Live and learn, I say...live and learn.

To everyone else who has sent me a PM over the weekend... sorry, all ten copies have been claimed!

I'm a bit late to the party but if I buy the book can I join in?

Edit: I see it's not out until the 8th so that might have been a silly question - a lot of pages to read in 6 days.

We know you're up to it. ;)

What about one of his previously translated novels? Steal You Away or I'm Not Scared?

I probably will be up to it by then, very little work coming in!

I have Steal You Away on the shelf, so that's a good idea. I've previously read I'm Not Scared and liked it quite a lot.
