Rivers of London on Crime Novel Long List

Rivers of London is on the 2012 Theakstons Old Peculier Crime Novel of The Year Longlist. You can read about it here.

This comes as a complete surprise to me so I'll post more as soon as I know it.

Rivers of London Covers Nominated For A Pornokitsch

Every writer dreams of having a good cover for his baby novel and I was very lucky when Patrick Knowles combined a swirly tentacled font with Stephen Walter's fantastic rendition of London's psychogeography to create an immediately distinctive and enticing cover for mine. Many a time I have been approached by customers who've bought the book on the basis of the cover alone.

So it is entirely fitting that the equally splendidly designed Pornokitsch site has nominated that cover for an Inky Tentacle with the winner to be announced at the SFX Weekender in February.
