It’s been a strange weekend here in Columbia, MO. We were promised the mother of all ice storms on Friday. School was canceled early Thursday afternoon, the grocery store shelves were bare, people were stockpiling candles… and then nothing. Tomorrow, people whispered.  And then nothing. Well, OK then, Sunday, went the word. It’s now Sunday. And guess what?

Because we’d been told that nobody would be able to make it down their driveway, let alone out into the real world, we had canceled all plans, which left us all at something of a loose end. Which is why I made this little movie. It’s been so long since I’ve published a book that the whole process has changed beyond all recognition from five years ago. Back then, it seemed like everyone made a book trailer. These days, not so much. I’m still not entirely sure what the point of them is – but it was fun to do. It was lovely to be reminded of the wonderfully generous things writers I admire hugely were kind enough to say about my book. And any excuse to listen to my friend Richard’s music over and over again is always welcome.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy it.
