I do not think it has been officially published in the US as yet, but nowadays it seems that books become available earlier than in the past, and sometimes in ways that seem rather mysterious to the author!Martin Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16082485795280777670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291823984059320518.post-32631562183388427712011-03-24T15:16:09.802+00:002011-03-24T15:16:09.802+00:00Martin, is it already out in the U.S?

Drop me an email in a week or so and we'll see if we can coincide when you are here.<br />Paul, Daniel does indeed play quite a big part in the story!

But no mention of Daniel Kind; I hope he hasn’t been relegated to minor player status. Hannah Scarlett is a great creation, a really appealing, gutsy character, but I like Daniel too, and the developing relationship between them is an important strand in the series, one of the things contributing to its particular flavour and no doubt its popularity. <br /><br />Just wondering, also, when ‘The Hanging Wood’ will be out in the UK and whether you’ll be doing any promotional gigs around Cheshire – Lymm Festival, perhaps? I’d love to catch up with you and bag a signed copy! <br /><br />Regards, PaulPaul Beechnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291823984059320518.post-42030185164069423272011-03-21T13:38:22.315+00:002011-03-21T13:38:22.315+00:00Mo Hayder fans???
