Quintin Jardine and me at Fringe By The Sea 12th August 6.30pmThis is the 3rd year of Fringe By The Sea an offshoot of the official fringe in North Berwick and this afternoon the Authors in Conversation with myself (the poor buggers) kicked off with Quintin Jardine who's had over 30 books published. Holy tamoly. He has 3 series on the go The Bob Skinner series, the Oz Blackstone series and more recently the Primavera Blackstone series which are written from the perspective of Oz's ex wife and widow Primavera. He's a great bloke, that's Quintin not Oz, and we had a chat for about an hour about life the universe and everything. He's appearing at The Edinburgh Book Festival next week and didn't want to cover the same material so we got an exclusive reading from the first chapter of 'Somewhere Over The Rainbow' - no relation to Graham Norton and Andrew Lloyd Webber - this is a politically themed book borne from his experience as a spin doctor in the houses of parliament a few years ago and a rollicking good tale. Interestingly his publishers Headline weren't keen on publishing it as it doesn't fit into what they regard as his known genre of 'Crime' so it has been published through Amazon - if you go onto Amazon and put the title in you can order it there.
