Join Peat has he navigates his way through frozen Snowdonia, and finishes up his tour in Germany.
- @PVBrett – The Brits are telling me @brentweeks danced gangnam style at signings on his last tour here. Apparently Chippendale’s wasn’t enough for him.
- @PVBrett – Went to visit @Mark__Lawrence with @FantasyFaction. Mark provided both crumpets & scones. A true American, I didn’t know which was which.
- @PVBrett – You can tell a lot about a person by what they think of chap. 20 of Daylight War. Some call it their favorite, others wish it was shorter.
- @PVBrett – On the road to SF Weekender in Pwllheli. Not pronounced as it looks. Look forward to tweets as we lose a tire on a goat path in Snowdonia.
- @PVBrett – Just explained to @fictionpubteam that in New York, ‘fuck’ is basically just a comma.
- @PVBrett – I have seen more sheep on the last 40 minutes than the 40 years previous.
- @PVBrett – Dalek Disco at SF Weekender: http://t.co/R2hJNTaTSi
- @PVBrett – At #SciFiWeekender, “Chalet”, uses the Welsh spelling of t-r-a-i-l-e-r: http://t.co/eFaT6Tgtu7
- @PVBrett – Sleeping on the floor of my trailer living room, as it is the only room with heat. Ah, the glamour of being an author…
- @PVBrett – Managed to sneak a bookplate into the one copy of Desert Spear I found at the WH Smith in Heathrow Terminal 3: http://t.co/HJzODckaX3
- @PVBrett – I have never once read a review to make me doubt the course I’ve set, nor the road behind me.
- @PVBrett – Hair standing straight up when I woke. Managed to fight it down from Legion to Wolverine.
- @PVBrett – My pal @brentweeks uses his Daylight War review to wax philosophical about writing, craft, & epic fantasy in general: http://t.co/jpH5Rhm3w0
- @PVBrett – No wonder constant jet lag has left me feeling like crap for the last month… http://t.co/ld6LFFcuVn
- @PVBrett – Was so psyched to watch Skyfall tonight… but then I watched it. #skyfail
- @PVBrett – Whenever someone suggests I need to turn off my brain to enjoy something, I regard them with scorn… and a little envy. #wishihadthatswitch
- @PVBrett – Why is it ‘whet’ your appetite and not ‘wet’? The mouth waters, it does not sharpen, dragged across a rough stone.
- @PVBrett – Technically not available last week, Die Flammen der Dämmerung still hit #6 on the Der Spiegel bestseller list: http://t.co/5ekEQLLDTp
- @PVBrett – On train from Munich to Hannover. Woman next to us going through all her ringtones. May have to take & smash her phone for the common good.
- @PVBrett – Everywhere I go, this guy follows me. Damn you, @brentweeks! http://t.co/u7Fu2yYufQ
- @PVBrett – Dreamt last night @scottlynch78 hired a cruise ship for authors, editors & agents to preview his book on a movie screen to prevent piracy.
- @PVBrett – Six drunk assholes enjoying their train ride immensely. 60 others in the car with pained expressions on their faces. #genepoolneedschlorine
- @PVBrett – Choir practice at Thomaskirche in Leipzig. Problem with perfect acoustics is everyone can hear the musicians fart. http://t.co/ZTM40lrnbf
- @PVBrett – What exactly is storm trooper armor supposed to be protecting them from, anyway? Not blaster fire, obviously.
- @PVBrett – Back in the US at last. For German travelers, I signed 11 books in the bookshop in Frankfurt airport, by Terminal Z.
- @PVBrett – You should all read this. RT @MykeCole New blog post – What PTSD is. http://t.co/erGDW8D5wj
