The jitters.

    Of all the things I've done, nothing has fazed me like this has.
    I've been on the tatami with lunatics and I've jumped out of aircraft, but this has given me the jitters.
    I have read many times that book signings are a waste of time and effort.
    My books have been on the market for 3 years and I have never done a signing. That is about to change because on the first weekend of October I am doing my first signing at Borders in Liverpool (near John Lennon airport). The staff at Borders tell me that True-Crime goes down well in Liverpool and not to worry about sitting alone at the signing table.
    I did a recce last week to see a woman sitting alone amongst a stack of her books... zilch... fanny adamsl! Oh, Christ almighty, what have I let myself in for.
    Wish me luck guys.
    Chris.

    Good luck Chris, just be yourself and don't worry if there aren't too many people there, all publicity is good publicity.

    Hi Mairt, I was an adrenalin junkie and like thousands of others I used to parachute for kicks.
