Follow Up Article on UAE's Banning of Books

9/10/2012

Here's Khalid Al Ameri (The National) following up on the UAE's ban/non-ban of the Fifty Shades series:

He makes an interesting case about cultural sensitivity, but I'm not convinced that it applies in all cases, i.e. Bloody Flies.

Is Fifty Shades banned or not banned in the UAE?

PS: If you liked Fifty Shades of Grey, why not Bloody Flies on Kindle or in Paperback?

Helena Frith Powell, novelist and favourite of Sunday supplements everywhere, has written a review of my new novel, Bloody Flies.

I've created a web page for the purpose of hosting the review. I know this is not how things are normally done, but Bloody Flies is not a normal book.

Did a fabulous photo shoot with Silvia Razgova from The National yesterday. It was on the AbuDhabi breakwater -- amongst the jet skiing shebabs -- and loads of fun. M Magazine is featuring me in their Desert Island Books series and I can't wait to see the results!
