A Bit Like Jello Biafra Appearing Live On Stage at Cromer

I am quite lucky when it comes to that small group of people who seem to appreciate my work. Alongside the green crayon brigade and those who really do believe I’m a ‘Jewish Freemason wizard’ or a ‘Serbian Anti-Zionist’, there appears to be a handful of readers who not only say nice things about my books, but also want to send me stuff.

Over recent weeks this stuff has ranged from details of royal family nominee accounts to Easter eggs and MANDI-related DVDs. It is wonderfully odd and does occasionally make me feel a bit like Jello Biafra appearing live on stage at Cromer. Today the generosity reached a new pleasant shock level when a package arrived containing three Doctor Who toys. I owe a big thank you to whoever performed this act of anonymous kindness; I just wish that they had decided to give me a name and a way of thanking them more personally.

However, I am going to take steps to make it a lot harder for anyone to send me anything in future. This is not because I do not enjoy a pleasing postal surprise. I love them. I just do not want to be sent any dead fish or other green crayon specials alongside Dalek models and material that would get the sender sacked from a position of trust at Coutts & Co. I will probably have to close down the direct book ordering service and force anyone who wants to send me any sort package to go through my publisher, but as I remain fairly accessible at inside.knowledge@gmail.com* this should not pose too many problems to those not bent on malicious mischief.

*Dan, if you want to discuss those Loose Change videos, email me at this eddress. Same goes for Tomaru if you want sources for the Space Marine Corps or anyone else who has a book related question.
