Here I am - and it's been a long time coming - attacking a box of my OWN books with a knife. Get your hankies out, as I promise searing emotion and my voice entering whistle notes. As usual, the video has freeze-framed at a point where I look like Norman Bates. Cheers.

I'm very pleased to announce by new book, FINE, has a shiny, new and distinctly classy cover. It's out in November, and I really can't wait to share it with you.
