Being a relatively new author with Picnic, I am not 'au fait' with the back story of 'Black President', but I assume it all started long before Obama was even a blip on the international horizon. Congratulations anyway, with a title like that you are bound to attract 'mega' attention before anyone has even read a word. I'll really look forward to reading it. Nick Rick

Somehow you both are rekindling my spirits to try another round of historical work after I get this proof correction of Black President wrapped up! In any case, I'll happily look forward to reading your Something Hidden and Kill-Grief, and of course Politics and Paranoia (and all other interesting Picnic books coming out!).

It could well be an effective publicity boost - so maybe I should be actively searching for that 'west country nonagenarian'. Regards Nick Thanks for the comment Caroline.

If someone does come up with the definitive answer between now and publication, I'm sure it wouldn't negate your story - it would just create interest in the issue and be good for publicity. Even so, I know how you feel about hoping real life doesn't overtake your fiction! The book sounds great – I love historical fiction that shows its own interpretation of real events.
