Haven't disappeared- I am tweeting every day here https://twitter.com/#!/FrancisVallemon . So come and see me there. I will use this site for posting big things- like extracts and longer pieces of news. Tweeting is easier to keep up and makes me think I'm in touch. Anyway, life isn't just about writing is it? These novels are my main writing interest now. I want to build a huge collection of them and take readers through Vallemont's cases and life in late 16th Century to early 17th Century London. Stand by for a big free offer before Christmas.
