And We’re Back….

London never disappoints…Boris biking, Limehouse Chinatown resurrecting, Thames riverside rainbows, Marylebone posh slumming, Covent Garden pavement drinking, a tad too much rose wine perhaps…and a summer of rioting! That was my break! But now back to work.

Apologies in advance as I’m in full book launch mode at the moment and the machine that is Penguin requires vast amounts of my time…thankfully! And that also means that they’ll be a few more than the usual self -promotional postings on this site in the next month or two as I head down to Oz and then around Asia promoting Midnight in Peking. But fear not on two counts:

1) I will include lots of other posts on the usual stuff Shanghai related and China Rhyming usual;

2) if you like this site even a little bit you’re going to love Midnight in Peking – if you have even a passing interest in 1930s China, foreigners up to no good, opium scented scandals, underworld sex and unsolved murders then this autumn you’re basically going to be reading ME.

And if you’re in Australia you can pre-order now on Booktopia and read a Q&A on the book here.
