| Just to say for anyone worried about GNR (or any other books by me) being produced in two hugely different versions, one for USA one for the UK, it doesn't work like that. Identical story and prose, with just the standard differences in spelling and grammar separating them. Oh, with one exception I noticed this time around. The US copy editor replaced karzi with toilet in a dialogue section -that's all folks. |

Finally, that's over. Just after I got the UK proofs, the USA copy arrived as well. 2000+ pages to read through. Then I got man-flu in the middle, as well as having to organise two birthday parties for the kids. Anyhoo... all finished. No major problems (that I spotted, anyway), and they're now back on their way to the publishers. So that's one step closer to publication. Spent the rest of the day filling out Comic Con forms, about when I want to sign autographs (Saturday morning, hopefully) and if I want a stall to sell anything (no), etc. The flights are booked, and I'll be there late Thursday evening, so what state I'll be in on Friday morning is anyone's guess. It's an eleven hour flight. Oh joy. Still, it's the one time in the year when I can catch up on some reading. But what to take... ? |

News for anyone with a kindle, or nook, or ipad or any kind of e-reader. My UK publisher Tor/Macmillan is going to start making its ebooks, including all of mine, DRM-free over the next few months. There's no exact schedule as yet, but it does mean that Great North Road will be DRM-free right from the start. And I'm 300 pages into my read-through of the UK typeset proofs. Amazed as always how many small typos creep in. As the transfer is electronic, it shouldn't happen -yet it does. On the bright side, I guess that means Skynet isn't quite ready to take over yet. |

| The postman just delivered all 1087 proof pages. That's my reading taken care of for the next week or two. |

| Morning verdict. My daughter came downstairs after reading all three chapters I gave her and said: "What happens next?" Result! But... if I'm giving her a few chapters each day I have to write fast enough to finish and print out the last chapters in time. Right then, off to the shed at the bottom of the garden... |

| Very nervous. The first three chapters of Queen Of Dreams have just been given to the sharpest critic on the planet. My seven year old daughter. Drinking lots of beer as I wait for the verdict. |

Just found out (thanks, Scott Hughes) that Great North Road is up on Amazon UK. Only the hardback so far, but yes it is going to be on kindle and all the other e-book formats. There should be an audio version, too, but they haven't given me a date for that yet. There's also a page on Amazon US -no cover image yet, but when it does arrive I think you'll like it. I did. www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0230750052/ref=s9_simh_gw_p14_d0_g14_i1?pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=1QRG9E3D5869ZTC9YB8B&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=467128533&pf_rd_i=468294  Great North Road www.amazon.co.uk Great North Road: Amazon.co.uk: Peter F.
