So much time is being spent finishing my next book - it should be done by Christmas - that I can only post sporadically here at the moment.
On Friday morning there was an interesting programme on Radio 4 about the Malmesbury Philosophytown Festival that I spoke at last month. You can listen again here for a week.
I shall probably be appearing on Friday Night is Music Night tonight (4th November) on Radio 2, filling the interval space when the audience at home gets up to make a cup of tea. Yesterday I was interviewed on location in Limehouse by a lovely chap called Neil Rosser about Sax Rohmer and Fu Manchu. Hopefully, if he's managed to edit it by tomorrow evening, it will be broadcast to the nation. Particulary good was standing on the foreshore at Limehouse Reach talking about the 'Devil Doctor'.
A talk on The Cult of Ku at Treadwell's bookshop next Thursday is also of relevance.
