I will be doing an event at the London Review of Books Bookshop on 11th May. Details here.

My book is coming out in Denmark, it will be published by Forlaget Turbulenz. Such great news.

I will be at the Edinburgh Festival alongside Greg Baxter on Thursday 23rd August (not sure what time yet).

I will be at Hay Festival on Monday 4th June at 4pm.

I've had a great review from Chicks Dig Books (thank you).

& I've had a sneaky peek at one coming up in April from BookList - loveliness.

FEBRUARY 2012
A new, very nice 4* review here from the States.

Bloomsbury deliver A Lady Cyclist's Guide to Kashgar proofs across London - by bicycle, and in 1920s dress (ish). Check it out here.

JANUARY 2012
A great review ("absolutely beautifully written") at Dolce Bellezza's very attractive site.

The Book Case have mentioned me in their list of MOST BUZZED-ABOUT DEBUTS OF 2012.

Times Literary Editor Erica Wagner picked me and A Lady Cyclist as 'one to watch out for in 2012' which was a very good way to start the new year indeed.

DECEMBER 2011 
A Lady Cyclist has been selected as one of 'Barbara's Picks' at The Library Journal in the US. Described as 'charming and dusky and imbued with a wonderful sense of history and place...'

Oooh: the lovely French publisher Presses de la Cite have bought rights. Wonder of wonders. I cannot wait to see what the French cover will look like (stylish and elegant, of course). This means that A Lady Cyclist's Guide to Kashgar is now being published in 10 different countries. Not bad, eh?
 

NOVEMBER 2011
Exciting news just in: rights for A Lady Cyclist's Guide to Kashgar have been acquired by Italian publisher Eliott. This is AMAZING - I am very pleased and can't wait to see an Italian edition.

AUGUST 2011
The latest news is that rights for A Lady Cyclist's Guide to Kashgar have been bought by Laguna in Serbia. This is very exciting. I'm hoping this means that one day I can visit Belgrade, drink coffee, waft about the city and casually come across my book in a bookshop window.
