My debut novel Angel, described by Stephen Fry as "a delight to read...so delicate, casually cruel, wickedly funny and wildly alluring", has just gone live on iBooks and Nook.

And of course it is also available for the Kindle.

Angel is the story of Damion, a boy who is so beautiful that everybody falls in love with him. This, his greatest advantage in life, gradually turns into his heaviest burden and so as he reaches adulthood, Damion, in an act half wanton, half heroic, destroys what for other people - but not for him - has come to describe his essence.

I'm a bit bowled over because this is what Stephen Fry has just said about my novel, Angel:

"A delight to read. So delicate, casually cruel, wickedly funny and wildly alluring."

If you want to know more about it, you'll find it here, and it's also just gone live on Kindle.
