More on The Mistress of Nothing

While in Ottawa the last week of November, 09, I did an interview, about winning the prize and writing the book, with Nigel Beale for his website and radio broadcast.
I’ll be blogging about publication throughout the year; to read my posts about ‘The Mistress of Nothing’ click on ‘The Mistress of Nothing’ under Categories in the right-hand sidebar.  This will bring together all the posts about the book, the virtual book tour, as well as any materials for reader’s groups.

Please let me know what you think of the book by e-mailing me, or posting a comment here on my blog.
