I hope everyone had a happy Christmas and will have a successful new year. I am currently away writing, so will not be posting the usual comments on theatre or sporting events. However, I will be returning home soon because the launch of my new book, A Prisoner of Birth, is on March 4th in the US and March 7th in Britain. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all those people who keep sending their comments, don't stop just because I'm away.

I (no, that's actually a outright lie) my BROTHER has friends in low-places of other publishing houses, and they all say (enviously) that JA's new novel will be a trenchant reminder of how good he has always been.
May that be true; it took critics way- too-long to realize the brilliance of George MacDonald Fraser, and JA deserves a bit of reawakened credit for his place amongst the best of the storytellers.
'Persistance'; a mighty undervalued word.........
Happy New Year Jeffrey!
Wow you're writing again already - I am having a go at writing a story of fiction, but it is slow going. I am persisting though and perhaps I'll be fortunate enough to be published.
All the very best for you and your family this year.
Kind regards,
Rob

PS. I have completed reading "Volume 1 - Hell" - thoroughly enjoyed it. I am over half way through "Volume 2 - Purgatory" and am about to hear about September 11 as it unfolded.
Hey Jeffrey,
Have a really good new year. (although I'm sure I've already said it.)
7th March in the UK - that's a day before my son's 11th birthday.
I might have to wait abit to get your new book though as my husband says I've already got too many in the house !!! ( unless I borrow it from a library - if Birmingham Central Library decide to have it).

I wonder if you are watching the cricket from Australia and if you are, just what you make of the tension between the teams (Aus and India) both on and off the field.
gwyn - I am following the cricket. It's sad; why don't they all behave like Gilchrist and Tendulkar?
rob macpherson - writing is hard work, but best of luck with it.
zarzarica - delighted you're enjoying my books. Sorry to say I have no plans at the moment to visit Romania in the near future. Best wishes.
