On the weekend I spent a couple of hours outside a shopping centre with other concerned locals in my area raising awareness of planned cuts to our libraries. If we want to save them we need to make the powers-that-be aware of how important they are to our communities.

It's a double header at the @yeovillitfest today, being interviewed by @radiomukhers for QUANTUM OF MENACE and then interviewing him for THE BURNING GROUNDS. There will be chaos... I'm properly prepped with James Bond socks, a gift from the man, the myth @m.w.craven ...

A wonderful launch event for Quantum of Menace hosted by Simply Books & chaired by Bondishly sauve @TMLoganAuthor Music, Bond costumes, Bond songs, & a passionate crowd. I wore a Nehru jacket in homage to Sean Connery in Dr No. And then Tim and I ended up in a Chinese restaurant.
