He and Malla Nunn have been touring Australia for GET READING AUSTRALIA since the middle of last week, and just now they are in South Australia. On Friday they go on to Hobart, and then they'll have done 13 places in 10 days.
Michael began this touring madness in the name of adult literacy back in 2008 when he became the Books Alive ambassador, and undertook a similarly gruelling schedule.
Michael's next novel, THE WRECKAGE, to be published in May 2011, will see the return of retired detective Vincent Ruiz and introduce a new character, crusading journalist Luca Terracini.
I was embarrassed to admit that I haven't yet read A BEAUTIFUL PLACE TO DIE, but I do have a library copy next to my bed, and I have promoted it ot the status of TBRN (to be read next).
The breakfast conversation was great: ranging in topics from the worst books I have ever read and reviewed on my blog, to Adelaide's claim to be a crime capital, to anecdotes about plane flights, to television shows, to discussion lists, to whether crime fiction is literature.
What a great way to begin the day!
So what do crime fiction writers and readers eat for breakfast?
Rather surprisingly perhaps: Bircher muesli and coffee.
