I’m going back to the UK next week for a few days, and I’m very pleased to be able to fit in a few events at Waterstones, namely :-

Wednesday 20th June : signing at Waterstones Carmarthen from 12.00 – 13.00

Thursday 21st June : evening talk and Q&A at Waterstones Swansea from 18.30 onwards

If you’re in the area, please do come along and say hi. Or ciao. Or bore da.

Elsewhere, there’s now an official release date of July 5th (although there’s always the chance of it appearing a bit earlier – Caroline spotted “Il Ponte dei Delitti” on the shelves at a supermarket in Mestre last year, a week before the official date) for Vendetta a Venezia, which, I’m sure you can guess, is the Italian translation of Vengeance in Venice. Here’s the cover, a lovely piece of work from Newton Compton…

And, on the subject of covers, here’s the first look at next year’s “The Venetian Masquerade”. We’ve moved away from the ‘lone gondolier’ theme of the first two books. Again, wonderful work from the good people at Constable. 

I think that’s pretty much all the news there is for now – but I’d just like to say a very big thank you to Tim Bruce and everyone at Audible for the great job they’ve done on the audios of “The Venetian Game” and “Vengeance in Venice”. I’ve enjoyed them immensely, and Tim…Tim really is Nathan Sutherland! Congratulations to all involved.
