When will this book be available in the US? I loved The Cat and The City and I don't want to miss your new book.

Unfortunately I don't have any news about a US publication date right now (UK and North American rights are always a complicated thing...). I've had this question from a number of kind American readers, and I know that some have ordered it online from Waterstones in the UK and received in the US, but unfortunately that will entail international shipping costs... I'll be sure to announce when I know more about what is happening with US distribution/publication. I'm sorry not to have good news, but keeping my fingers crossed you'll be able to get your hands on it soon! Best wishes, Nick(less)

Four Seasons in Japan – OUT NOW

Four Seasons in Japan

My new book FOUR SEASONS IN JAPAN was published last week in the UK by Doubleday. Sorry it took me a while to write – it really is true what they say about the difficult second album... For anyone who read The Cat and The City one of the characters makes a reappearance!

Here's the blurb for FSIJ:
