A Good Position Just Behind Brian May of Queen
Got hold of the Carlton/Andre Deutsch/Prion Autumn 2006 catalogue. It is always interesting to see how your publisher is promoting your book within the trade. In the catalogue my The History of Organized Crime gets a nice full-page and a good position just behind Brian May of Queen and Patrick Moore’s joint book on astrophysics. I love the variant cover design of Organized Crime and I am more than happy with the bill matter as my name is above the title in a good font size. Above and beyond vanity, this sort of subtle, ridiculous stuff surrounding bill matter is important, or at least important to agents. My book certainly looks a better product than The History of Espionage that they are still pushing with my name attached as its author.
They are advertising Organized Crime with the vastly optimistic publication date of September 4th. If I were around, it would certainly be a good time to have a proper launch – ideally at Murder One. My reasons for wanting an early publication are not entirely selfish. I am becoming increasingly worried about my grandfather and I know he is dearly looking forward to reading the book. It would good if he gets to do that.

You go, spaceboy! It's good--and well deserved--that you're getting the recognition you deserve. You're a class writer. Bout time everyone else knew that.
It's not that big! However, the fanboy in this ‘spaceboy’ does love being before Kim Newman in the catalogue because Kim Newman is a writing god. It will be the only time in my life my name as a mere hack comes undeservedly before Newman.
