I did a short string of pre-launch signings, Patrick. They all went well. I sold about 640 books in the 5 days of events, which is very good at this time of year. On launch day I was interviewed on the local BBC Radio station, which was great as the interview was long and fun. Bernie, the presenter, had clearly read and enjoyed the book, so he had lots of perceptive questions.
Next event is Saturday in Witney, Oxfordshire, where I'll be signing with Mary Hoffman and Jo Kenrick. Should be a lot of fun. Then it's London and Wales next week to talk in schools. For anyone interested in catching up with me at a signing, the full schedule for the next 3 months is on the news page of my website -

In some ways it seems strange to be talking about the Imperial series, as I finished writing it ages ago and have been so heavily into the new series (Dragon Orb) that the Imperial books seem so ... yesteryear!
