So: third continent in as many weeks - off to North America the day after tomorrow (by which time I shall know whether or not Chelsea have overcome their bugbear and beaten Liverpool to make the final of the Champions League: will I be travelling with a light heart or burning with fury?). I've never been to Toronto before and was delighted to accept an invitation from Doubleday Canada to come and promote THE TENTH GIFT. Amongst the radio and TV interviews and stock signing I'll also be speaking at an event for Ben McNally Books over brunch at the King Edward Hotel at 10a.m. on Sunday 3rd May alongside Rabih Alameddine, Mary Roach and Misha Glenny, which should make for a lively and varied discussion!
