I love publication day, so much so that I’ve had a new haircut…
Today we publish BLACK NEON by Tony O’Neill and it is a ripsnorter of a read. When Irvine Welsh, says that he …fell in love with every page
you have to sit up and take note. It’s a crime novel, neo noir and is utterly brilliant. I’m biased, I know, but when you see what else is out there at the minute, BLACK NEON will blow yours and Santa’s socks off. We love it so much we’re flying Tony over from New York and he’s embarking on a two week book tour so you can all meet him and have a chat. So, if you’re in or around the locations below, do pop in. It is a bit of a rite of passage too because although we’ve held one launch in London, we’ve never managed to have one at the Piccadilly, Waterstones HQ. I like to think it’s happened this time because of the fantastic books we’ve already published. I’m sure it means that those people in the big choosing rooms are beginning to see what wonderful books we publish.
