Welcome!

This is my semi-weekly journal covering novel writing, travel, international matters, and whatever related that pops to mind…. sometimes seriously, sometimes rather less so. The center (centre) of my authoring universe. I hope you enjoy your visit.

Tomorrow The Grace

Edward: “I hope I may be quite honest with you that I will be quite pleased for the opportunity to become far better acquainted with Miss Sánchez once we reach Holland…”

Tomorrow The Grace

Conventions: The Garden At Paris

Robert: “My friend who wrote that letter, he’s passed eighty now. When I was in Paris fifty years ago, where I met him, he loved her dearly. And, oh, Nancy, how she loved him…”

Over At My Instagram...

We need a light on now not long after 5.😜 The days are noticeably drawing in.🇬🇧🍂 Briefly wondering also what the heck we are all doing on here putting up photos🤔... and now, checking just to see what y'all are up to.😆📱 . As a New Yawker I know technically I'm not allowed to say "y'all." And I can't *say* it: I'd sound ridiculous.😳🙃 But I can, uh, type it.👨🏻‍💻😂 . #selfphoto #travel #autumn #homeoffice #evening #iPhone #instaphoto #selfie #writers #authors #laughs #dusk #England #desk #expats #humor #language #regionalisms #authorsofinsta #writersofinstagram #Americans #NewYork
Back on Saturday after wandering through Tredegar House, in the charity bookshop outside it at that *Welsh* stately home, I did what any normal American does: I spent £1 on a classic novel written by a famous *Scot.*😂 . I've got lots of time now to read. (In that case, buy a paperback of a book I read ages ago and have on my Kindle.) And that's part of "the plan," I guess. Yet being "NWIP" (no work in progress), am I allowed still to term myself an author?🤔🙁 . Fun fact: Sir Walter became great friends with American author Washington - "Rip Van Winkle" - Irving while Irving was living here in Britain.🇬🇧🇺🇸 You knew there had to be a Catskills connection!👍🙄😆 . #travel #tourism #tredegarhouse #Wales #classics #literature #Ivanhoe #SirWalterScott #reading #notwriting #nowip #formerauthor #expats #photos #sabbatical #fiction #historicalfiction #romance #medievaltimes

To Wales, over the old Severn Bridge.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🚘😊 (I was not driving.) . #travel #Wales #Saturday #sunshine #weekend #views #tourism #fun #scenic #severnbridge #expats #authors #writers #vistas #England #M48
Much as was regularly and "humbly" offered by 18th and early 19th century authors in their contemporary books’ introductions, borrowing that habit here given the novel is set in their time, I write that... tel qu'il est, je le présente à l'indulgence de mes amis. Indeed, as it is I leave this effort now to the hoped for indulgence and approbation of my friends.😬😜😊 . In simpler and modern English: I have once again given it my best write. Links to it are found at my blog via my profile here. The Kindle version is as you see available now, while the (uh, rather hefty) paperback will be appearing within 24 hours or so.📚 . What's next? I'm gonna RELAX. I plan to spend at least six months liking your Insta pics, reading (and writing) blogs, tweeting, reading BOOKS, and not producing a bl-ody sentence aimed at future publication!👍😂 . #authors #writing #writers #books #Kindle #bookstagram #novels #novelists #fiction #romance #historicalfiction #history #travel #expats #Europe #France #England #humor #adventure
