For those of you jonesing for the next episode of Blood and Smoke, good news is that the first finished draft is now written and I'll be editing it and recording it this week. I'm also hard at work on the novel that follows it (let's call it U&F 4). Oooooh yes, my friends - the Chronicles will be rolling on for at least 5 books, probably more. So do your bit for the cause - download Salvation and Other Stories and share the link to the store with your Facebook and Twitter pals! I thank you!!

Cheeky Monkey

My last video this year, and yes, it's another one of those English language things I do for my students. I know, it's daft, but I enjoy it.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas, listeners, readers and people of random-blog perusal! Whether you celebrate it or - as I do - just tend to find yourself caught up in the inescapable middle of it, may you have a very happy and peaceful time. The next podcast episode is delayed due to all the stuff that we have to do at this time of year, but it will be finished and recorded just as things calm down early in January. Until then, have a great one, and I'll speak to you again once the festivities have abated.

Theatre Etiquette

Another of those little videos I make for my students. This one is a bit longer than usual and deals with a problem I encountered on a recent trip to the theatre. We went to see Richard II at the Barbican on Saturday. It was very good ... but for one thing. What was the problem? Ask John ...

If we can get this to number one in the UK bestsellers, it'll blow my mind ... which would be nice.
