Spring Tide, my new story collection, is out today, both as an ebook and as a beautiful little hardback. I feel I know the physical qualities of those hardbacks pretty well since, in a marathan session at a huge book distribution centre in Grantham (see below), I signed every single one of the current batch, in the company of Kate Straker from Corvus who was meanwhile applying the ‘signed by the author’ stickers. We had quite a cottage industry going there for a couple of hours.
