Hi Spi 🙂

Guten Abend!

Guten Abend! I was thinking of you recently – I had a flight in a 1936 DH Hornet Moth that I thought would be right up your street. Trouble with one short flight is I want more

You jammy dodger!

Super photos, thanks. Was that at Shuttleworth?

Bit late to this but yes, I’ve done (am doing!) a version of this. It works best when I’m trying to finish something. I’ve got a chart with a chain of squares and the idea is to make the chain as long as possible without breaking it. There’s no daily word count to reach. As long as I write a sentence, I can colour in a square. It’s worked…[Read more]

Three years ago I was told by a WW editor that my first novel hadn’t a hope of being published because there is no market for ghost stories, and particularly not those about haunted houses because they have been done to death. I was in the library last Saturday, and what did I find? ‘This House is Haunted’ by John Boyne (2013). And is the title…[Read more]

I have received six arcs this year so far about exactly that, Richard. And I note many othets coming into the library where I work. They are all some permutation on the haunted house. There is definitely a market for it.
-
And there’s The Silent Companions out recently and doing really well as a reading group type thing…
-
Forgot to say: though I say it as shouldn’t, I find the book less convincing as a ghost story than my own, and the climax is a bit OTT. Well, I’d better carry on with trying to lick my MS into better shape.
-
Not actually a Haunted House, but still ghostly, and very creepy, Susan Hill’s Dolly is the most enjoyable book I’ve read this year.
-
Yes, don’t give up @richardb! I’m not sure the talk of fashions is much help being as agents are always guessing on what will be next, and the things in the shops were signed two years before. We were told about 4 years ago that post-apocalytpic was done. But there are still agents asking for it, and still new books appearing in the shops. And I’m…[Read more]

I’m going through agents at the moment listing those with that particular request.

2013, you say. Maybe he was the one who did it to death…
-
I believe you when you say the book was less convincing than your own, Richard, I remember reading yours and really enjoying. It was spooky enough for me. Good luck with your MS and fingers crossed it will be available to buy soon.

Hi John
I’m assuming that you get the login screen with user name, password and the login button, but that if you click the button it just goes on showing you that screen. I wondered whether a broken page was lodged in your browser cache which is stopping the ‘logged in’ screen appearing even though you have successfully logged in. I’m not saying…[Read more] -
