the left room

No, not the new book – although that is on its way – but my son Zack, who was born on Sunday 21 February, weighing a whopping 8 pounds 9. Currently, he looks sort of like this:

Although, you know, more turbulent and full of cry. Anyway, after a hardcore hospital experience, both he and mum are doing well. And I’m very proud/happy/fucking knackered (delete as applicable).

So there’s been two weeks, more or less, off writing Book Six (The Blue Flower? The Black Flower? Black Flowers? Not sure of my working title yet), but that’s going to start up again soon. And I’m figuring the sleep deprivation can only add an extra pinch of spice to proceedings.

There are also a few other things on the horizon, not least of which is a trip to Germany at the end of April to promote the German version of Cry for Help. That’ll be a week long affair, and I’m looking forward to it, albeit with the understandable reluctance to leave Zack and Lynn. I’ll post more details of that soon.

Aside from that, I know I owe a more interesting blog post to the handful of people still attending here. The room hasn’t been left, honestly; if you listen carefully at the wall, you’ll hear the sound of a baby crying next door, and an exhausted writer smashing his fuzzy head into furniture to keep himself awake.

I’m sorry, in the meantime, for any emails or comments – here or elsewhere – that have gone unanswered, or congratulations that appear to have gone unacknowledged. They’ve all been noted and very, very much appreciated.
