Part One:
Part Two:
My new book has just been published. It’s called Notebook and you can order a copy from the independent bookshop, Blackwells, here. (They also deliver inexpensively outside the UK.)
VILLAGER, is now up for funding. I’d be delighted if you were able to help with its funding by reserving a signed first edition hardback – with your own name printed in the back – here.
It will be more than OK, trust us, your readers, as we trust you.
You are one of two of my favoured authors/commentators/social media go tos that have had shingles recently and neither of you recommend it as a must have experience. I am seriously considering being vaccinated.
Thrilling listening to this ramblecast and how you approach your writing. Really can’t wait to have the published article in my hands, reading it. Just finished Notebook which was a joy to read, but there is anticipation to Villager that I’ve not had before. Am really very excited.
I am so touched by your complete honesty! Thank you for sharing yourself with us.
I’m new to Tom’s work and enjoyed Notebook yet looking forward to a more structured piece of his fiction. Would love to know if Villager has found it’s conclusion yet and how long it takes from completion to going on sale? Tempted to get my name (or just nose) added to the acknowledgements.
Hello Dave. Villager is about 3 weeks from completion. I was hoping my publishers would get it out there by autumn but because of the pandemic and the havoc it’s wreaked on distribution schedules it will now be coming out early next year. All the best, and thanks for the support! Tom
Thanks muchly for the swift reply and the informative update. Keep up the good work. I do wonder whether you intend to visit other parts of the domestic landscape such as Kent or Bedfordshire for future work?
