My esteemed Trapped By Monsters cave colleague Ali Sparkes has just come up with something a bit tremendous – a new author initiative called Adopt A Bookshop. I’ve adopted mine.

Authors Are Out For Themselves
Oxford county council leader, Keith Mitchell, claims authors are out for themselves by campaigning against library closures: http://bit.ly/hei9lN This makes me so angry!
