The Well-Tempered Clavier

And finally … for my last posting before I go on hols, I have a remarkable spat-ette to reveal.
 
Last week The Well-Tempered Clavier was appearing in The Wall Street Journal.
 
This week, it’s the page lead in the Axegrinder column Press Gazette - read by hacks all over the country. Obviously a highly influential mag.
 
And the […]

Some time ago, a reader told me that The Well-Tempered Clavier was not just on sale in the Waterstone’s in Horsham - it was on their "Recommended" Shelves
 
To be on the "Recommended" list is gold dust! Even though your front cover may look like a total dog’s dinner, sales can go through the roof.
 
Naturally […]

Yet more extraordinary news on the dating front! Somebody else wants to have a date with Idle Tom the Publisher!
 
Or …
 
At least her son thinks she might …
 
Turns out that Susan very much enjoyed reading The Well-Tempered Clavier.
 
And, as her son Damian reveals, she is open to the idea of new love.

It looks like our visit to Eton College’s parents day may have paid off.

"Tom!" I […]

"Corn in Egypt!" That’s a phrase my dear old dad likes to use after some unbelievable miracle.

A phone-call - an uplifting Transatlantic phone-call -from my publisher Idle Tom.
 
"Tommmyyyy!" I said. "Good to hear you! How are all those deals going? You chowing down into lots of burgers and ten-inch steaks?"
 
"Nope," he said. "Though they are very big on their beef here."
 
"Well of course they’re big on their beef. The Americans can’t […]

I thought of Idle Tom the Publisher last night, when I saw this year’s funniest film: "A Complete History of My Sexual Failures".
 
It’s by a mate, Chris Waitt, who spent six months tracking down his exes to find out why he was such a loser. Check out his site here.
 
The film had done pretty well […]

Finally - a request comes through for a date with Idle Tom the Publisher.
 
A week ago, I put it out there that undesirable Tom was hankering for a girlfriend. But would anyone be prepared to take him on? His looks … well they’re sort of unusual; his sense of humour … well I’d describe it […]
