Watch Stephen King's acceptance speech upon receiving a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Canadian Booksellers Association in Toronto, Friday 8 June - You Tube

Many thanks to the dozens of you who responded to the competition, we drew the winner on the 16th June and sent a signed copy of the really excellent thriller "Season of the Witch" by Natasha Mostert to Sue Gedge of Woodford Green here in the UK. She knew that the Salem witch trials took place in Massachusets, as did an awfully large number of you as well.

If you were one of the unlucky ones - you really ought to get a copy as it really is an exciting, erotic and throught provoking adventure.

Books to recommend for your readers:

The Book Thief by Markus Zusak and The Lord of the Rings Sketchbook by Alan Lee. The latter not because of its incredible illustrations but Lee's insight into his life and his approach to illustrating The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings; and, of course, his work on the film version.

And of course Ian Rankin's last Rebus novel will be released in September - that's got to be a must read.

Craig Cabell

Hello Simon - More years ago than I care to remember as a very young au pair girl living in rural Cheshire ( mid-sixties) I remember reading a fantasy book for the eldest girl. I don't remember title or author however. The story was about some little people or fairie or such living in the caves at Alderly Edge, and we lived quite close to there. I have thought about reading it to my grandchildren, but I do need help to find it. Do you or anyone else know this book? I would be really grateful for a helping hand. I always enjoy the newsletter, thank you. Kind regards Inge Lise.

(isn't this an Alan Garner book? the Weirdstone of Brisingamen or the Moon of Gomrath? - Simon)

On Saturday 23rd June from 2pm Dean Koontz will be signing copies of ‘The Good Guy’ from his home in Newport Beach, California for customers at Waterstone’s Piccadilly.

The LongPen TM – the world’s first long distance, pen-and-ink signing device is the invention of Margaret Atwood. Carbon neutral, and one of the most exciting developments in the literary world, it enables booklovers from around the world to have contact with authors they would never otherwise meet. LongPen TM operates over the Internet, incorporating video conferencing to facilitate trans-Atlantic conversations between writers and their fans.

Not only is this the commercial launch of LongPen TM to the UK public, but the first time that this hugely prolific writer has undertaken a signing event for UK fans: a genuinely groundbreaking moment.

Now I have a problem with this - is this really a signing? Surely the signing has to be done by the person in front of you? Or is it me?
