Brisk book sales (and much interesting chat) at #noiratthebar next to the Thames on Millbank in central London yesterday evening! Around twenty authors took part, and the event was part of National Crime Reading Month. It was great fun – thanks all!
I read from the opening pages of my novel Foxy-T, mainly because give or take a few weeks it’s roughly the 20th anniversary of its first publication.
Foxy-T is not usually characterised as crime fiction, except by the critic Mark Lawson who called it a ‘crime novel’ when he reviewed it on BBC Radio 4’s Front Row. I think he was probably responding to a murder mystery element that hides in plain sight at the heart of the book!
Anyway, it felt right for last night. Also perhaps because I was on last (more ‘short straw’ maybe than ‘top of the bill’), so wanted to give a barnstorming performance!
Incidentally and ICYMI, any copies of Foxy-T currently showing as ‘in stock’ at Amazon may be the very last of Faber’s mass-market paperback print-run. Certainly, the copies that sold out after my reading last night were the last ones left in the Faber warehouse! So if you’d been meaning to read Foxy-T and wanted to read it in paperback, now may be your last chance to get hold of it new, for a while at least…
Of course Foxy-T is still available in Faber ebook from your favourite ebook retailer.
