The book is now officially, well, official. "Ice Bear," as it is called in the UK, was officially released today, and to mark the occasion I was interviewed for the best part of 30 minutes by Phil Williams, guest host of the Richard Bacon Programme on BBC Radio 5 Live. Many thanks to Phil and the crew for the interview, and to the excellent Emma Mitchell of Random House for setting it up. Back to the US tomorrow; "The Great White Bear" is officially released on the western side of the pond on January 12.
