The Concluding Words

The major reason I have not been posting on here much in recent weeks is because as you may know I have been doing last revisions of my - now (I know, I know, but I refuse to hurry it) overdue - novel...

Pencil(s) Time

It is of a similar structure and a length as the previous two novels. This is also possibly the most "complicated" of the three. Indeed at times you may well also think I have REALLY lost my mind with this one. LOL!

In Passing

While proofing my latest novel manuscript further yesterday - I listen often to a manuscript "read" to me through my PC; you would be surprised how many tiny errors (like a "the" or an "an" accidentally left out of a sentence) it reveals - and considering the story itself, at one point I also thought relatedly on how all of us have a lifespan after which we are no more...

A Travel-“Isolated” New Year’s

We arrived back here in England today...

Blame Fitzgerald

I had found myself with no real ideas of what I might write next. Until yesterday, that is....

Returned To The Wintry North

All good things come to an end... including Florida beach holidays...

On The Gulf

With her mum's death in October and all that went on there in previous months (and has gone on since), my wife desperately needed and deserved a vacation...

I have found over the years that there are readers - often very articulate ones, too - who may want to talk IN PRIVATE about this or that in my books.

“The hardest bit”

To me the hardest bit of writing is when I have to sit back and state: "I think it's finished now."

London To Rural New York

Surprise from the United States...

My Choice

Don't get me wrong, I love book sales. However, I don’t care how many books I sell. I never have cared about that, really.

Generations

What prompted this post is it dawned on me this morning that I have done something that I had not really intended to do when I started this "project" early in 2016...

For All The World To Read

As you probably know I no longer tweet. However, I do like to "dip into" what I see Twitter writers/authors at its #writingcommunity hashtag are throwing out there for possibly all the world to read. I did so again yesterday and thought I would share a few here...

To Do, Or Not To Do

A change of pace: an afternoon (UK time) post. Why? Because I have seen a few things in recent days I thought worth addressing here and I also chose just to surprise you at a new time. LOL!

The Machine Reads

I have used the Kindle text reader on all of my books post-publication. My personal opinion: I have always felt my novels sound better when read aloud by a woman's voice.
