When we write, we have to employ everything at our disposal. Whether one writes a comic book, or a novel, a writer must be fearless. As a consequence, we may well be uncomfortable at times with what we create…
Our Modern “Gods And Goddesses”
“That’s our boy!”
I’m not a Spurs fan like a REAL Spurs fan. I do like them as a London team and enjoyed the chance to see Kane play.
He will be Sir Harry Kane someday, I’m sure.
“Robert’s books about France, I’m talking with him…”
Recently I turned down an interview request from a US podcaster because I felt that I could not do full justice to her suggested main subject. I didn’t think it would be fair talking with her merely for the sake of just talking – even if doing that might in some ways perhaps have been usefully self-promotional.
Not A Kids’ Game
I suppose as a result I have been rewarded to learn I have had readers from not only in the US, Britain, and France, and elsewhere in Europe, but also in South America, India, and the Middle East – Lebanon, especially – and other places.

What We “Hear”
My first Kindle reader years ago (it was one of Amazon’s first Kindles) had the capability to “speak” the text electronically. You may remember, or even still have one.
Side Notes
You may well be reading this with headphones in. I dare to wonder what music you associate with me?
Those Immortal Letters Of Transit, Signed By…
But does he really say “de Gaulle?” Lorre there is hard to understand. It does sound as if he says “de Gaulle,” but he somewhat mumbles.
What Comes First
Writing a book is a solitary effort, whereas sharing to social media is, well, social (hopefully)…
I Write As I Write
The best route to follow as a writer is always to be genuine. You will never please everyone. Let the reader chips fall where they may.
The Minefield: Where Entertainment Meets Politics
There is a reason we have a secret ballot: none of us need ever reveal, explain, or justify our vote to anyone if we wish not to do so – and that includes to the Guardian.
Because “Lisa” Wasn’t Interested In Him
Dad: “You know how girls get pregnant, right?”
Mr. Brown’s Books
This is one of the most scorching reviews I have ever read.
