This was going to be a PS on the bottom of Too quiet on the lit fic front, but that got too long, so here's a separate little mention:
I've finally got round to getting my on-stage interview at the Brisbane Writers' Festival up on my website. When I got the Festival programme, I remember, I was incredibly daunted. A panel discussing something about history, or fiction, or historical fiction, I could handle, but an hour-long live one-to-one interview? With audience? Recorded for national radio? But in the event it was great. My publishers Headline Review (who in that hemisphere fly under the Hachette Livre banner) very kindly took Kate Evans and me out to dinner the night before to get an idea of what we'd want to talk about, and at one point we agreed we'd have to stop talking about the book or we'd have said it all before the session! Obviously for radio it was edited, but the majority of the discussion got in, plus me reading a short extract from The Mathematics of Love. If it would amuse you to listen, click here to go to that page of my website.
