Jane, I’d be delighted to sign and send you one, how much would be the £7.95 + p&p. I’ve not yet got the order back and would need to go to the post office to find out what it costs. Will let you know.

Thanks Janette, it didn’t work out as expected, but what book does?

Shame … I’ll check out postage costs. Or better still, hope to arrange a meet up; it’s been far too long.

I’ve not booked for York but depending on dates could certainly deliver to anyone interested – good idea, in fact, but we’re in Orkney 5-14th …

Eight years ago I signed up for NaNoWriMo 2011 with plans to write a murder mystery (a genre I then knew little of).
I had a title. An idea: a cruise ship on which brides were bumped off to order. I had back stories for a dozen honeymooning couples; for ship’s crew and owners (some good, some bad). Best of all I had DI Luke Darbyshere and c…[Read more]

July’s competition – I’ve given you the first eight words; you only need add 200 more. @libby has set the standard, but I’ve no doubt there’s more than 200 variations to be had. Deadline 31st.

‘Bringing a gun into a house
changes it.’The opening words lines of a poem entitled ‘The Gun’, written in 2001 by Vicki Feaver, whose work I discovered last year.
I’d like you to enlarge upon this by adding no more than 200 words.
And because I’m not convinced that two months makes participation any more likely, I’m setting a deadline of…[Read more]

Good heavens, Raine – what a compliment, especially in view of the strength of the rest; I certainly was torn between at least three to name as my favourite. Thank you, indeed. And you can most certainly read the rest, as soon as it’s done. (Currently ‘resting’ after finishing a first draft last week, and already knowing things need…[Read more]

Well done, Jules and thanks for the horse breed check list, correcting my belief that a destrier was a sort of fast carthorse. I’m a big fan of Dorothy Dunnett so this will be added to my list.

For those that befriended Sally Hopgood on Jericho’s Townhouse – she is no more. Tried and found wanting.

Just as she was growing on me.

Oh, heavens! This means I have no friends 🙁

Just looked for you (on t’house) to remedy this – but no Seagreens were available…

Aha, found yer!

Have just sought out Sally Hopgood (on t’house) and found she is not good at hopping-it. Still there it appears…

Damn! I’ll have another go at offing her tomorrow. Thanks Gerry.

Hey, don’t go – now I know it’s you. Stick around – something might happen. Y’never know…

What happened was that the rigmarole of unrecognised password/user name has to be faced again … thanks but no thanks.

In general,Squidge, although I know exactly what you mean, I don’t. Partly because a lot of the time I am writing ‘badly’ to start with, so much needs to be improved (and the correct word substituted for the one I couldn’t remember – I’m grateful for Emma D’s suggestion of putting then in [ ] so as to later find.
At the moment, writing a…[Read more]
