I'll be out and about talking about the new book, <em>The Blue Demon</em>, this week. You can find the full details <a href="http://davidhewson.com/blog/calendar/" target="_blank">on the calendar here</a>. I'm delighted to say that for the most part I'll be accompanied by the lovely <a href="http://www.anncleeves.com/" target="_blank">Ann Cleeves</a> who'll be talking about her new book too, <em>Blue Lightning.</em> I wonder how long it will be before we hear the first 'Blues tour' jokes.

In a nutshell the dates are...
