If you happen to be in Canberra on Thursday 16 May (I mean, who wouldn’t be) it’ll be terrific to see you at the launch of BODIES OF MEN: 6pm at the fabulous Street Theatre. There will be wise words from the amazing Robyn Cadwallader, author of THE ANCHORESS and BOOK OF COLOURS, and award-winning slam poet CJ Bowerbird. There will also be books. And booze!
The event is free. To RSVP, drop a line to publicity@hachette.com.au

Finally, thank you to all those who’ve sent me pictures of BODIES OF MEN (so to speak) in bookshops around Australia. I’m loving seeing the novel on shelves, and I’m also loving the tireless bookshops who are stocking it.
Gratitude to all.
Peace x

Greetings Nigel. Would have truly enjoyed being in Canberra to attend the launch – instead with my wife here in astoundingly beautiful Prague – just now opening up your book to begin reading! A city which knows war and wartime horrors and there are no doubt many love stories out of its checkered (no pun intended) past! May all smile well – on the 16th we should be in Zagreb preparing to travel to Belgrade.

Hi Jim, good to hear from you. Prague must be so beautiful, despite the violence of its past – I do hope to get there one day. Thanks in advance for your reading! Travel well. All best wishes, Nigel.
