In other news I'm about fifty pages from the end of A Thousand Ships. Remember, the first finisher's prize is to get the author to write a book on the subject and in the style of the winner's choosing. I'm going to get Natalie Haynes to write a Thomas the Tank Engine story in the style of an epic Greek myth. In rhyming couplets.
