As usual, please call the venue to check times and dates before you set out just in case I am kidnapped by enraged badgers, eager to promote their dangerous monochrome agenda.

If you want me to come and chat at your library or bookshop, I do like to do these things - drop me a line. jasper(at)jasperfforde.com.
