		<title>Even darker&#8230;..</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just back from a week in the US &#8211; New York, Phoenix, Arizona, and a quick peek at the Grand Canyon -but it feels as though we have been away for months. The alleged reason for our visit was to accompany Anthony on part of his book tour to promote The Good Book (at times [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Walk on the Dark Side?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s a strange experience &#8216;growing&#8217; a novel &#8211; you never quite know what direction it&#8217;s going to take you in. I&#8217;ve been reading fairy tales for my research, and living with my character Celia Lamprey for some months now, trying to get inside her head. I did a lot of knocking, with no replies, for [...]]]></description>

		<title>poster girl</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Bloomsbury&#8217;s ravishing posters for The Pindar Diamond are now up all over the underground in London, and also in mainline stations round the country. I haven&#8217;t seen it yet myself, but friends keep emailing me photos of it, so I know it&#8217;s really there at last (Paddington, Bath-Spa&#8230;. I won&#8217;t mention them all, but I&#8217;d [...]]]></description>

		<title>Eating My Hat</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The paperback of The Pindar Diamond is published today. My editor spotted it at WHSmiths at Heathrow, Terminal 5, late last night (Sunday) and sent me a photo &#8211; (see my website, or better still find it in your nearest bookshop&#8230;) and I also saw it on the shelves at The White Horse Bookshop in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Paul Pindar</title>
		<description><![CDATA[25th June, 2010 The most extraordinary thing happened to me yesterday. I have been in an email correspondence with a man who is an expert on Jacobean furniture, and to whom Paul Pindar&#8217;s house, that amazing carved oak front which is no so beautifully on display at the Victoria and Albert Museum, is well known.

		<title>word counts</title>
		<description><![CDATA[These beginnings can be very, very creaky. I&#8217;ve written just over a thousand words in three days. Not much, but a start, as they say. More importantly, I hope, the whole world I am trying to create is gradually taking shape inside my head. It feels almost like channelling, or something similar. Conjuring up these [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Novel</title>
		<description><![CDATA[June 14th, 2010 Good morning, A Winter&#8217;s Tale (or at least I think that&#8217;s what you are going to be called). Starting a new novel is a strange business &#8211; it seems so weirdly final, I keep thinking there must be something else I need to do (the washing up? dance round a maypole?) but [...]]]></description>

		<title>Morning After</title>
		<description><![CDATA[4th June, 2010 Although the official publication of The Pindar Diamond is not until Monday, after last night I feel as though this book is well and truly launched. Interesting word that: a book is launched like a ship being cast out onto the seas for the first time. Not a bad metaphor. Your book [...]]]></description>

		<title>Launch Party part 3</title>
		<description><![CDATA[4th June, 2010 00.45 am Last guests just left. All my favourite people, friends and family, in one room &#8211; and garden &#8211; together. Every time I looked down there was Dog sitting at my feet. This is her first party, but evidently she has inherited the family party-loving gene&#8230;. I think she would have [...]]]></description>
