I have just been invited to participate in a debate, sponsored by my local Waterstones in conjunction with the public library, about the Booker Prize shortlist. I have to read one of the Booker books and “debate its merits”.
On 6th October.
Ack!
I said I’d do it but I’m a bit nervous about it.
Anyone in the UK want to come give me moral support? I’m in Devon (Exeter area) so it is probably quite a trek for most of you, but if any of you want to come let me know.

I’ll fuel up the corporate jet, D, and be right over.
You’ll do fine. Use weaknesses or strengths in plot and scene structure to fuel your comments, as you’ve done with the series on erotic romance writing.

Congratulations, December! I can’t be there, but I know you’ll do well.

Good luck. I know you can handle it.

Thanks guys! I’m starting to think I was kind of crazy to agree to do it, honestly. It seemed like such a fun idea this morning. Now…urgh.
I’m going to hold you to that, Bernard!
