Remember, back in the summer, I went off to Penrith to give a talk to the Romantic Novelists Association at their annual conference?

Well, you might like to read this sometime … Crazy Like a Fox.

It’s an abridged version of the talk I gave.  It comes, however, with a warning.  ‘Abridged’ only means it’s shorter than it was.  It doesn’t mean it’s short.  It’s only ’short’ if you’re comparing it to – say – “Gone with the Wind” – which I wouldn’t.

Think ‘De Profundis‘, only more cheerful.
