I had a wonderful day visiting Bowood House in Wiltshire to speak at a literary lunch. Among the group was Jackie Law, writer of a fantastic book review blog, Never Imitate, who wrote up the event here.

I really enjoyed preparing and delivering this talk on the characterisation of Matty Corani - the protagonist of Mother of Darkness - and to explore the underpinnings of Greek myth and Freudian psychology that drive his actions and beliefs.

Very much enjoyed this signing at the lovely Engine Yard in the Vale of Belvoir, not far from where I grew up.

Had a brilliant time launching Mother of Darkness at the Groucho in Soho. The Dean Street club looks straight on to my protagonist Matty’s fictional Meard Street flat. The Evening Standard described the event as ‘sophisticated debauchery,’ which pleased me, and Tatler did a nice write-up.
