Book number two is out and I am aware that I need to up my ground game, so I'm back on here, cap in hand, begging for attention... Anyway, here it is. It zips along, or so I'm told, and you can buy it in all the usual places.

@joedunthorne @arvon You were missed in Rome (we played four, drew one, lost three), where you might have found yourself marking the flying Italian left back, Walter, who takes his typewriter to the street and writes tautograms for passers-by...

[David Annand @AnnandWriter]

@SusannaHislop Just coleslaw?

[David Annand @AnnandWriter]

Off to Italy tomorrow to do a talk on Architecture and the Novel and play football as part of Writing Solidarity. If you're in Rome come along!

@johnypitts There is a month-long residency in Scotland that I dream of applying for. The place has no wifi and you can't get phone signal. Pre-kids I would have been banging down their door....

@ElleGrawl Chris Bachelder (in the UK at least, he might be wildly popular in the States for all I know). The Throwback Special didn't even get published here.
