I brought in the Bible salesman, but I had no idea what I was going to do with him. I didn't know he was going to steal that wooden leg until ten or twelve lines before he did it, but when I found out that this was what was going to happen, I realised it was inevitable.

john baker, May 6th, 2009. One comment. Filed under blogging, reading, reviews.

Today I’m in Manchester, at Elizabeth Baines’ blog.
Elizabeth has been reading Winged with Death for the last few weeks.
As well as her blogs (Elizabeth Baines and Fiction Bitch), Elizabeth Baines is a short story writer and novelist, author of the collection Balancing on the Edge of the World. She also writes plays for radio and the stage.
Elizabeth has some thoughts about Winged with Death, my latest novel, as well as the transcript of an email conversation we had over last weekend.
Why not come over to Elizabeth Baines’ Blog today and see what’s happening?
