Clauda Tanios has turned one up again: My initial reaction: have any of them actually checked with Canada?
“Paris” Will Always Capture U.S. Headlines
November 19, 2015
There has been criticism in some media and social media quarters over the avalanche of U.S. media reporting on the November 13 Paris massacres. Pointed to especially has been the comparatively far lesser coverage of the November 12 Beirut suicide blasts, in which over 40 were killed. The disparity between the two has prompted accusations … More “Paris” Will Always Capture U.S. Headlines
I Made Clauda “Lol”
June 25, 2015
Drove up to London yesterday and will be driving back to Wiltshire later. It will be a busy non-writing day overall. It’s shaping up as the sort of one I’m always of seriously two minds about, because a non-writing day is, fundamentally, a non-productive day in any novelist’s life. But if you drop by regularly, … More I Made Clauda “Lol”

We have friends coming to stay over tonight. (Don’t smirk. I have friends!) Although you may see me on Twitter, I’m planning on taking a couple of days’ breather from here.

Various Thoughts: 23 April 2015
April 23, 2015
UPDATE 2: 16:50 (4:50 pm) UK time: I see no one jumped at (or so far even reacted at all to) my Periscope idea. So I’ll presume the answer’s “No”? 😉 As you can also see, given I’m writing this, there has been no ninja attack on my house today…. as of yet. * * … More Various Thoughts: 23 April 2015
