Another title that we're launching in 2009 and one we're really excited by publishing, which involves more new ground for us. Can't quite reveal the actual topic yet, for reasons that may become obvious, but William Coles, author of the fantastic The Well-Tempered Clavier, will be writing the story of one of the most famous, maybe should say infamous, characters of British history over the last century.
'In his words', will be a reveal-all account and should certainly cause a stir - will reveal further details shortly. Any guesses who it could be? Will think of some type of spot prize for anyone who happens to get it right - maybe a signed copy of The Well-Tempered Clavier.
And to get an idea of the writing style you will be seeing a lot more of, you can order a copy of the Clavier right here at a special discount:

I’m thinking, I’m thinking… well, knowing Mr Coles, I would say that it’s probably going to be an old Etonian friend, or a politician who he has interviewed before, or both. Hmm. I would say Boris, but then not sure if he could be ‘over the last century’ – probably requires someone who’s been around for longer. There’s Alistair Whatsisname. You can probably tell that I’m not big on general politics so I’m probably not the best person to guess. On the other hand, it could be a Spice Girl or Katie Price…
