At the risk of sounding like I'm bragging, though in reality I just want to share good news with pals, I'm very chuffed to learn this morning that my proposed Dr Who novel, HUNTER'S MOON, has been commissioned by BBC Books. Can't give any details out yet, but obviously if folk are interested, I'll be posting more on my blog/webpage in due course. | ||

Excellent news, Paul, into TV cultural history you emerge. May it continue. Well done, pal.  | ||

Paul, I love you! Well, not literally of course, but in the same way that I love ALL Doctor Who authors.  I'm also dead jealous too, of course! Seriously, very well done. You must be over the moon (I know I would be if it was me). | ||

Thanks all. It was a pleasant thing to wake up to. | ||

Dear Paul. Unlike Carolinec, I do actually love you. Seriously, this is really great news. It's like a member of the family coming good. Regards Terry | ||

Well done, Paul! And on the same day we picked up your Tomes of the Dead book that I'm looking forward immensely to reading (and not just because it's set in Wales ;->) | ||

Congratulations... you have joined the ranks of the legends! | ||

Thanks again everyone. JLP - glad you've picked up STRONGHOLD. The Welsh come out of it pretty well, those that are left ... Heh hehehehe | ||

Paul, I was pleasantly surprised to find my local WH Smith had Stronghold on the shelf. Christ, they only seem to stock cookbooks and celebrity biographies - the fiction section has King, Meyer, Rowling, Grisham. And you. I've never seen any other Abaddon books in there. | ||
| Paul_finch (Paul_finch) Username: Paul_finch Registered: 11-2009 Posted From: 92.2.230.91 |
Steve ... I think Jon mentioned to me that this is the first title they've sold to WHSmiths, though I could be mistaken on that. It's certainly one of the first. | ||

Congrats, Paul- both on the Dr Who thing and on breaking into WH Smiths! | ||

Suddenly realised that last sounded a bit wrong... oh well, you know what I mean. | ||
| Paul_finch (Paul_finch) Username: Paul_finch Registered: 11-2009 Posted From: 92.2.230.91 |
I know exactly what you mean, Simon. You're convinced that us ex-coppers are all on the rob at every opportunity. | ||

Imagine me dancing about naked and waving a large amount of wine in loose jugs. [bonus points if someone can sort the musical theatre reference in there] | ||

Something to do with the song 'Un canadien errant'? | ||

>>Imagine me dancing about naked and waving a large amount of wine in loose jugs.<<  I'm not sure I want to imagine that at this time of day! (or any time of day, for that matter) | ||

Joel: well done! However, that's a folk song about a Quebecois escaping after the Plains of Abraham (where the French were soundly thrashed). Folk song, win; musical theatre, fail. The Music Man is the correct answer, and is the Mayor's wife's summary of The Rubiat of Omar Khiam. |
