DIRTY LEEDS

We’re in Wakefield tomorrow with Robert Endeacott and David Peace for an author event at the Red Shed in Wakefield! There’s even going to be poetry on, so no doubt I’ll take up smoking and will be outside while that bit is no. No offence, like. And as it’s a CAMRA place, it’ll be full of people who look just like Martin Ellis of Zymurgy Publishing. God, that’s all we need, eh? But I’m still looking forward to it.

David gave Dirty Leeds a plug in The Guardian on Saturday, giving it a heads up as a Christmas recommendation. Nice one, David! Doesn’t get much better dan dat.

And speaking of mentions … Sheila Quigley is AUTHOR OF THE MONTH on crimesquad.com. How cool is that? Eh? How cool, man? Martin Edwards also gives Sheila a good mention here on his blog.

I’ll probably be recovering from my hangover on Friday after Thursday night at the Red Shed, so please watch The One Show on BBC1 at 7pm on Friday, if you can … Charlie Walduck will be on there plugging Slimmer Charlie.

I’ll also be at Waterstone’s in Sunderland on Friday with Sheila from 1pm, if I’m in a fit state to drive.
