The first post on the new Allison & Busby blog - cue trumpet fanfare and throwing of suitably book-shaped confetti. Between leaving work last night and coming to the office this morning, the wondrous Lesley (who obviously needs to get a life, which is a horrid thing to say and I take it back immediately) has created our blog - and so now all that remains is for us to post frantically and tell you all about life in a small, but perfectly formed, publishing house.
'Tis Halloween today and very fitting to mention my current reading matter - a series of teen vampire novels, which I'm absolutely loving. The author, Rachel Caine, is new to us and we've just signed up the first two books in her excellent Weather Warden series. Think Heroes crossed with Janet Evanovich, and you get the picture. She also writes the Morganville Vampire books which I'm keen to buy for our list. College students living in a big spooky house, doing battle with the vampires running amok in their sleepy Texas town. What's not to love?
I'm off to sell some books to those lovely people at Books etc in London Wall - better start polishing the patter.
