I’m doing a reading of The Pile of Stuff at the Bottom of the Stairs on this Thursday, 7 April at the Waterstone’s on Islington Green. If words are not enough for you, there will also be wine.

Go on, it’s late-night closing and conveniently close to Upper Street which apparently has more bars per square foot than anywhere else in Britain. Or was in the world? Or maybe just North London. Anyway, I will be there and very grateful for your attendance. Do I sound needy?
