Cock-a-Hoop!

Number Six! Number Six! Yes, Breakfast at Cannibal Joe’s made it into the top ten of the 50 Best Indie Books of 2015 over at ReadFREE.ly. How chuffed am I?  Just look at my face. And it’s all down to you, you lovely people.  There were thousands of votes cast in the contest, so it’s no mean feat to have made it onto the final shortlist, let alone into the top ten. Well done everyone! Drinks and/or drugs all round!

This result rounds off a fabulous five months since publication. It’s been amazing to have so much support and so many positive comments and more-than-generous reviews from folk. Thank you all so very very much. I send big wet kisses, overly long hugs, and genuinely felt but embarrassingly excessive good wishes to everyone who has purchased, voted for, commented on, reviewed, read, or otherwise looked kindly upon Grünter, Joe, Delia, and the gang.  Have an excruciatingly happy holiday season and a 2016 to remember for all the right reasons.

Break out the chocolate liqueurs!

Breakfast at Cannibal Joe's, Grünter Gross, Pigs

Grunterlives!

A lovely gift from my ever-thoughtful darling wife: A china version of the three-legged pig that graces the cover of Breakfast at Cannibal Joe’s. And yes, that is a stump you can see between his legs. I checked.

Grünter is keeping some illustrious company, as you can see. Besides the menu filched from the Cafe de Flore, there’s Henning Mankell, Franz Kafka, Maurice Brinton, Sylvia Federici,Martin Heidegger and my ridiculously talented nephew Ollie, holding the children’s BAFTA for Coraline, on which he worked as an animator. Ollie’s portfolio includes Fantastic Mr. Fox, Corpse Bride, Paranorman, and The Boxtrolls. He’s currently working on Kubo and the Two Strings, due out next September.

Lisa McInerney, Novel writing, The Glorious Heresies, The Guardian

The brilliant Lisa McInerney (see my Phriends and Fenomena page) has a brief but very interesting piece in today’s Guardian upon the potential complementarity of the short story and novel-writing processes.

“One of the cleverest and funniest books I’ve read this year.”

A super review of Breakfast at Cannibal Joe’s by Jason on Goodreads and at Amazon.

It is tough to describe the plot without just confusing matters even more so just take my word for it, this is one of the funniest and cleverest books I’ve read this year; In fact I do declare this book to be “Bogus” (read the book for the definition of bogus).

I just hope you don’t read too many more books this year, Jason. 🙂
