That's all I can offer you as I'm busy, busy, busy ... Even more so than usual, as I've the added weight of the A-Z Challenge. In my previous life at Bunny and the Bloke I jumped in to blogging largely via the annual April blogfest. Indeed, it was the methodology for my getting know... Continue Reading →
OK, so that's the snapy headline - but what I really wanted to say was how I'd very much like to see a return to the previous restriction of the prize being open to British & Commonwealth authors only. Let me go on record as stating I have no issue with American authors - at... Continue Reading →
I have a rule - one I think most readers share - to read the book first. In the case of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's "Americanah" that was easy, as no screen adaptation had yet been made.

I spotted the carving on the rocks at Seaford in East Sussex this weekend and I wondered ... did Kathryn say yes? Are they married now?

I hope I'm not so vain that I think you want to know that much about me, but I found some of these questions interesting, and I thought you might too.
