INTERACTION

If you're on Facebook I'd be grateful if you joined this group, known as FREE THE MANGEL ONE:

http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=392897936010

Basically it's me trying to gather support to get my Royston Blake series continued, a couple of installments of which were generously reviewed in TTA/Black Static. If you like dark crime fiction with some laughs, or you abhor the publishing trend of allowing the accountants to overrule the editors, please join.

Charlie Williams.

The characters who are going to an early grave

Fictional doorman Royston Blake just became the latest victim of the publishing industry's financial squeeze on mid-list authors... Sam Jordison in the Guardian

Hey, cheers Roy. I should say that Blake is in a coma rather than dead. It's just a very, very deep coma.

Thanks to anyone who joined the FB group and to Pete and Roy for posting about it here! As well as the new one - ONE DEAD HEN - next August, the first three Mangel titles will be relaunched (by AmazonEncore) in the three months leading up to it:

Who'd have thought a poxy Facebook group could get such a result? Not me for sure. Just goes to show. I'm not sure what it goes to show, but it just does!

Charlie.
