Hard Time Launch Party!

My book just went on sale here at Random House:

And here at Amazon (with errors in the blurb that will be fixed in a few days).

I’ve been so excited since seeing it for sale. It has made getting published all the more real for me.

This Random House website is for presales, and it’s not available in the US quite yet. The actual UK publication date of Hard Time is August 5th.

It was my blog reader, Rita Abraham, who picked the title Hard Time. My publisher and I are now turning to you again for launch-party ideas. If you have a suggestion, please post it in the comments to this blog entry. The launch party will be in London, so your ideas must be suitable for the London area. The winning suggestion will get a free copy of Hard Time.

Ideas so far include the Courthouse Hotel, which has a bar with original holding cells, and the Clinkbar situated deep in the cells of the old Clerkenwell Magistrates Court in Kings Cross, famous for its infamous felons including 70's punk rockers, The Clash and Charles Dickens' characters, Oliver Twist, Fagan, and The Artful Dodger.

If you’d like to attend the book launch, please email me.
