Yes - even though most romantic comedy writers are men: look at people like Paul Torday now, or Richard Curtis in films, and back to E M Forster, whose Italian comedies I always loved.

That's pretty impressive - it's been as much as I can do to type these answers! It's been a while since I finished The Various Flavours of Coffee so this is as much typing as I've done for a while..... |

Do you get involved in literature festivals, book signings etc.? I'm involved with my local literature festival in Leeds. Can I be cheeky and ask if you'd consider taking part in it?

When I have time - which to be honest isn't often. If it was when The Various Flavours of Coffee comes out, in November, it would be more likely to fit. Email me any details at anthony (at) anthonycapella (dot) com..... |

You're very welcome, it's been a pleasure having you here. I'll keep an eye out for Various Flavours of Coffee - it sounds great.
I wish you all the best with your work.

Just been looking for details of The Various Flavours of Coffee online and found the following:
http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk...la/various-flavours-of-coffee.htm
I fancy reading it. I'm interested in the history of coffee and tea (even though I don't drink either), and the cover design is gorgeous.
Will look forward to its release

Glynis, I intend reading it very soon. I've promised to lend my copy to a couple of people on RISI, but you are very welcome to borrow it after them.

The cover design is lovely! I'll definitely look out for this one later in the year!
