Head Above Parapet

The Fiction Front (which is here if you weren’t paying attention) has been tagged on the Guardian Books Blog. It seems my minor rant against the Booker has been officially noted…oops.

This feels a bit like the time I declared myself gay to a group of three hundred Nazi skinheads. Or the Sunday I was photographed by MI6 leading a column of Islamic militants through Leicester city centre. Its even faintly reminiscent of getting fired from work for swearing at a Vicar. Seriously, none of this is ever my fault!
