How do you know when Christmas is approaching -
Is it the store decorations?
Is it the jolly man in the red suit appearing simultaneously in different shopping centres?
Is it the mound of catalogues in the letter-box?
No it's not these, it is the current splurge of best-selling authors producing a new book 'just in time for Christmas gift giving!'
Here is just one day's delivery

You can always rely on Di Morrissey each October/November to write another saga, though this year's "A distant journey" is slimmer than usual.
And it is only a few weeks since the last James Patterson, but this one, is the 24th 'Alex Cross' and has no joint/ghost writer.
There are other series - another Jack Reacher ("Night School"), Dr Scarpetta ("Chaos"), the final 7th Clifton Chronicle ("This was a man"), a Harry Bosch ("The wrong side of goodbye"), the fourth Jack West Jr adventure ("The four legendary kingdoms"), and the Tempe Brennan is actually a prequel to "Deja dead" (which ruins the numbering of the entire series - thanks for nothing Kathy).
Now to be faced with the resulting hordes of holds for them all.
