Around the Edges of the World virtual book tour: pushing the boundaries and pleasing the punters
Back to England this week on my virtual book tour, to land on Me and My Big Mouth, the blog of Scott Pack, publisher and former chief fiction buyer for Waterstones, for a grilling about saleability! Well, actually, it's mostly me who goes on about saleability and the pressures of the market, after Scott surprises and pleases me by saying he likes the unorthodox stories in the book best, and about the effect such pressures have had on my writing.
Stories. 'Quite swept me off my feet... Nothing would have induced me to interrupt Balancing on the Edge of the World by Elizabeth Baines until I'd read them all' - Dovegreyreader
The Birth Machine. A short novel. New Edition, November 2010. 'A disturbing and thought-provoking meditation on power, control and the uncertain language of logic.' - Carys Bray.
