I bought myself a Kindle as well, as my Australian publisher is bringing out an eBook of 'Unimagined' shortly, and I need to be able to experience it just as both of the readers will.
But, I deferred the choice of a leather cover (which I consider to be an essential accessory).
Do I need the one with the light? Pray tell ...

A Happy Kindlemas...
I hope you've all been having a wonderful Christmas break, and to those on the East Coast of the USA, I hope you are safe and all have furnaces firing on all cylinders. We're majoring in thaw and slush right now. Well along with so many others I have homed a Kindle this Christmas. Brought it in ...
I was so spoiled by wonderful reviews, including a lovely one from dovegreyreader, that when I got my first negative one (and it was really horrid), from a book club in Australia, I was stunned and deeply hurt -- particularly as they called me a "hypocritical twerp".
But on reflection, I came to understand that the subtext of my book was too subtle for some readers, and that if they DIDN'T see the sub-text, they WOULD think I was a 'hypocritical twerp'.
I took this on-board when writing the enhanced version, and made sure that the new Epilogues and Afterword make my actual attitudes completely clear.
And to show my gratitude to that book club, their horrid review is included in the acclaim at the front of the new book.

So what does it really feel like to have your book reviewed? I mentioned a series of interviews I would be doing on here as a follow-up to the recent Everyone's a Critic debate at PEN, thinking that having slipped a foot in the door on that evening it would be interesting to get a glimpse be...

Rocky here...don't you think I look a bit handsome, sort of pensively deep and meaningful...I was just waiting and waiting for the crack of the lid off the Beef in Jelly can of Whiskas actually, but I have to play it cool. Not a time when I want to be fobbed off yet again with the rattle of th...

Once in a very blue moon and the winners are...
Rocky dreaming of seven swans-a swimming and those copies of The Book of the Moon by Rick Stroud to sort out and goodness me, the Psychic Science Random Number generator is cleverer than I thought and sometimes turns up a nice surprise too, you've no idea how exciting it gets here. OK I told it...
I've been to the Moon many times in my dreams.
Please put me down for this one, Dovegrey.

...seven swans-a swimming
We went to Exeter yesterday and saw far more than seven swans-a swimming, more like seventy, all very agitated, and with the tidal River Exe rather oddly overflowing its banks we had to jump and paddle right through them to get back to the car, none of this helped by a well-meaning person feed...
Please put me down for this one, Dovegrey. I need to learn about bookcover design, apparently.

Prize draw copies of Eighty Years of Book Cover Design
Names in comments for the chance to win one of four copies of Eighty Years of Book Cover Design by Joseph O'Connor and treat yourself to a Faber year of your own. Perhaps clear out a space in the fireplace, you'll know when he thuds down the chimney with this one.
