Meeting Jeffrey Archer

I interviewed Jeffrey Archer last week for Bloomberg, and also talked to him a bit about my own book. Very kindly he's wished me well on his own blog. He recalls the publication of his own first book, and how they struggled to make sure the first 3,500 sold. I certainly know how that feels. I found Archer charming. There's an image of him as a hack writer, but that certainly doesn't survive a conversation with him - he cares passionately about his books, and that comes through when you read them.
