Hi - It's Stephen Jarvis, the author of Death and Mr Pickwick here. You can find out more about Death and Mr Pickwick at www.deathandmrpickwick.com There is also a very active facebook page at www.facebook.com/deathandmrpickwick - I post there every day, and the great thing is that others post too. There is a real sense of a 'fan community' starting up at that page. One of the fans indeed recently suggested that perhaps no other novel has such a facebook presence as Death and Mr Pickwick. To get an immediate sense of all the facebook activity, please go to the www.deathandmrpickwick.com site, and click on the 'Further Reading' tab - you will see a link to an e-flipbook of facebook posts, which is much easier to access than facebook itself. All the best Stephen Jarvis
