Sorry about not being in touch - incredibly long days at the magnificent crime fiction fest - Quai du Polars in Lyon, France. Yesterday I had two events and a signing and two filming - and then there was the eating...dear God! had lunch at the Paul Bocuse bistro, Le Nord. Delicious. Would still be there if they hadn't threatened to call the gendarmerie. Then late in the day hopped the train to paris, changed stations, then the TGV to London. Arrived home to Michael's arms at midnight. Some tears. Happy to be home. Here's a photo from one of the events yesterday with Elizabeth George, Elena Piacentini, me, and Olivier Gay. Incredible to meet some old friends, and writers new to me from all over the world. In Lyon! Ahhhhh -
