Well hello there...it's been a while, I know. What have you been up to, you probably aren't saying.

A new novel, almost finished, a story from Dazzling that would not be contained in a mere 3,000 words. More of which soonly.

But I wanted to thank those who have posted lovely things about Dazzling, in various places, for which I am obscenely grateful. Word of mouth is still the best way to generate a little buzz for a book. And great that loads of you have captured it in distant corners of the globe, here for example in Lucca, Italy, the setting for one of the stories.

This location rather announces itself...

Dazzling in Santa Monica, LA...

I'll stop there, in case it hacking with rain where you are.

And as of last month, Dazzling is in all good bookshops, and last week the Irish Times was fabulously generous in its review., which you can read here.

Keep posting the photos...something in Asia would be good.

Warm wishes

Tom
