We’re at the halfway point in the tour, The Waves Burn Bright is officially out and in the bookshops and this fact has been celebrated in Clydebank, Glasgow and Leeds. Thanks to all the lovely folk who came out to buy books, ask some insightful and difficult questions and to join me in various licensed establishments afterward. Next week I’ll be reading at the Edinburgh Central Library (Tuesday 6.30pm), Manchester Bad Language (The Castle Hotel, Wednesday, 7.30pm) and Aberdeen May Festival (Sunday, 2pm). In the meantime you can read an extract from the novel on The Scotsman’s website here.
