"Jo, that would be James Tiberius Kirk, not, as Mr Stuart has it, Tiberious."

I think it says a lot for my pitifully small level of geekdom that I didn't spell it correctly. Then again, it's my blog so I can spell stuff however the hell I like. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! The POWER!

Thanks for the warning, Mark, I shall try to stay indoors for the whole month.

Picked up Flesh House the other day, and even persuaded a friend from the Netherlands to buy a copy :-) Am currently one behind though so have just started on Broken Skin. Sorry for not being in touch, to cut a long story short big changes over the last year, so some things fell by the wayside for a while. Hope everyone is well, am up in Aberdeen in November so be afraid ;-)

Jo, that would be James Tiberius Kirk, not, as Mr Stuart has it, Tiberious. That I would take as meaning like unto the river Tiber, which flows sluggishly through Rome.

Ah, I hadn't seen your review, Karen. Please accept my humble, bearded apologies. And this slightly stale biscuit.

I've got half a dead mouse here if you want it? It's a crunchy, savoury treat.

I object! Or am objectionable - whichever floats your boat. I reviewed Flesh House, but granted not in the hallowed walls of the learned journals of news and gossip.

I did it despite already teetering on the edge of a vague commitment to vegetarianism (thank you - I think the book did the trick!). I read it whilst dogs munched away on bones at my feet. I even read it after having taken a break to explain to my terriers that the killing of rats is an outdoor activity and they don't need to bring the body in for me to admire.

Something nice and lovely and kind and maybe littered with kind little old ladies, and people who all get on well, and fluffy bunnies maybe next up would be..... how should I put this.... sickening?

I loved the book incidentally.

You shouldn't encourage little old ladies to read Catherine Cookson, Linda, it only inflames their ardour. No one wants randy little old ladies running about the place.

Reviews or not Mr Stuart, in my little corner of the world your book has been selling extremely well in spite of me trying to talk little old ladies out of the purchase and on to something safer like a Catherine Cookson! You are getting a following of deviants in the Southern hemisphere.

'Tiberious'? What does that mean? Sluggish and brown and full of Italian pooh?

But thanks for the mention, Mr Stuart. I'm keeping my fingers crossed, too, which makes typing very difficult.

Nothing to do with my, I'm afraid - that's just the way blogger works. But it's free, so what ya gonna do?

And it's never a good idea to have too high expectations, Crimebuff. It leads to chaffing and unpleasant smells...

I'm halfway through Flesh House and as usual I have changed my mind on who the killer is about three times, I thought I had it sussed by page 72 but nope changed my mind again, the twists are excellent. I now look at Aberdeen in a different light everytime I drive past the police HQ I expect to see smoke pouring out DI Steel's office window. I'm originally from Portlethen then moved into the big toon and now settled in Tarves so the books had me captured stright away as I could visualise it all. Keep up the good work!.

Walked into Waterstones and snapped up your new book without a second thought, no need to read the blurb. I know it will be brilliant.
I don't like all this new procedure business, password and the like in order to make a commment, by the way.
Your previous books have been pretty damned good, to say the least, and my expectations are high on this one.
