New Who cover
I'm writing this less than an hour after writing the last sentence of my new Doctor Who book, Ghosts of India. Hurrah! It's always a great feeling to finish a book. My official deadline is on Monday, so I'll now spend the next few days reading through the manuscript & giving the text a final edit & polish before I submit it next week.
And appropriately enough, the BBC have now officially approved and released the covers of the three September Who novels for everyone to coo over. I'm delighted with mine. Here it is:

Hi Mark,
Enjoyed your column in the latest issue of Prism!
I was born in the early '70s and it was probably around the early '90s before I really had my own money with which to go out and spend on books.
I got in just at the tail end of there being secondhand bookshops in Glagow: by the late '90s they were gone.
But, yeah, I have fond memories of those few good years - pre-internet - of going out book-hunting!
Sure, the internet makes it ridiculously easy to find books now, as you said, but you just can't beat that pleasure of walking into your regular secondhand bookshop and the owner grinning at you upon seeing a familar face, saying nothing, but instead hands over a plain brown paper bag. You don't know what's in it, but you grin too, wondering which out-of-print title on your wants-list he's managed to track down this time. You know you're going to love it.
