Heavens, the speed of modern communication quite dazzles me at times! Less than twenty-four hours ago I indulged myself by replying to a very interesting email questionnaire sent to me by Sadye of the Fussy Librarian website. This website is a big deal in the e-book world, as it (to quote its own description) “is the first website to match readers not only with the genre of books they like but also their preferences about content… We also only bother with the good stuff so you know you’ll see great reads every time you open our daily email.”
So you can imagine that I was delighted to be asked to take part in their regular “author Q&A” feature. I expected it to sit around for a while, waiting its turn – but no! It’s there today! I’ll let you know if I see a spike in sales in the Des Moines area. (Only kidding – I can’t track purchases that closely. At least not legally.)

Very good Susan. If you report a spike I’ll be right onto them. I hadn’t realised that about the lack of resources for the defence.
It’s not what one might call a spike, but I have had five sales in the past three days – which is a lot for me! And yes, scandalous about the defence: the lawyer who started the campaign for more equal treatment in court was the famous William Garrow – before Sam’s time, but a fascinating character. Did you see the telly series “Garrow’s Law”? I credit it with igniting my interest in the historical legal system.
