The date has arrived for my first novel, to see the light of day.Lazlo Strangolov's Feather & Bone is now available from all good bookstores. If, like me, you are reluctant to visit the shops, you can buy it online as well.
I shall be marking the occasion by researching the significance of the publishing date: 02/03/09. Here are some highlight events that occurred on this date through history:
1791: Invention of the semaphore machine;
1933: King Kong opens at New York's Radio City Hall;
1939: Death of Howard Carter, the archaeologist who discovered the Tomb of Tutankhamun;
1972: The Pioneer Spacecraft is launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida, with a mission to explore the outer planets.
Be aware that there are now just 304 shopping days left until Christmas, but a great deal less than that before catastrophe befalls our world.
