I continue to receive some lovely reviews and comments on The Outrageous Behaviour of Left-Handed Dwarves, so I hope people will be interested to hear that the next one in the series, The Book of Slaughter and Forgetting, is currently sitting on my desk while I read the proofs. It is due out on 10th November so please start saving your pocket money. I need hardly add that the two books together would make a very acceptable Christmas present / birthday present / Hanukkah present / doorstop.
