Creatures from Outer Space and Cell Phones

My workspace is currently being fumigated because somehow tiny, tiny, tiny biting insects have infiltrated it. I feel like a human pin-cushion! Ouch.

But in better news, I finally bought a cell phone. I've always been a bit on the fence about cell phones. They're great for calling for roadside assistances when the car breaks down or for checking directions, but the whole always-available thing doesn't quite work for me.

Then again, getting a fun unexpected message from a friend is always nice, and I must admit that living in the boonies in Japan, I was quite attached to my little phone, especially since it could receive messages from New Zealand. Hmm... What's your take on this marvel of modern technology?

Hi Anon! I'm so glad you loved DW, as I absolutely adore that book. I liked the world so much I returned to it in Craving Beauty.

Re how to get hold of DW - have a look at this page of my website (scroll to the bottom) where I discuss that question. Drop me an email if you have any other questions. :)
