The latest edition of The Knights Templar is now available. Just to quell any possible excitement, this "new" edition is exactly the same as the previous edition, the 2009 paperback, save for the fact that this new version doesn't have flaps or the map printed on the endpapers. Blame the recession/the Tories for this latest bit of cheap-skatery. It also has a new ISBN: 978-184243-5632. When I last checked, it wasn't on Amazon, but will no doubt be there soon, and should eventually supercede the 2009 edition. Happy Lunasagh!

John Burnside Interview/New Novel
John Burnside has a new novel, A Summer of Drowning, out next week. Whilst checking for the publication date, I came across this new interview from The Scotsman.
From what he says, his next novel will be tackling banking scum and the need to do something about them, which is encouraging. The new one, however, is about evil spirits in the arctic (no, not oil companies - hopefully they'll be dealt with in the next book:-)).
I also found two older interviews, this one from 2001, and then there's this rather good interview from 2009.

Tarkovsky - New (and better) edition out now in UK
My book on Andrei Tarkovsky is now out in my deeply dishevelled and Tory-ruined homeland. It will be out in the US and Canada in July.
This is a much nicer edition that the original 2006 edition - better paper, better binding, better cover and also has colour photos in the middle. And a few new snippets of research.
