- Leominster Bookfairon May 30, 2016The Bookfair in Leominster's Grange Court today went pretty well, really. Sort of. The Bookfair itself, up in the John Abel room, was good - a great opportunity to meet and chat with readers browsing our stalls and with fellow writers. It is definite...
- Solomon's Magpieon May 1, 2016Book titles and covers, I reckon, are two of the most difficult bits of the writing process. At last, though, I have mine finished in time for my spot at the Leominster Festival next month when I'll be doing a pre-launch feature at the writers' bash...
- Tales and more taleson Mar 12, 2016A long time ago I posted the following on this blog about a story which I had come across whilst mousing around the cybers: An old radio ham was lying in his death bed upstairs. His favourite food was chocolate chip cookies and as he lay there, gaspi...

- Looking for a titleon Dec 20, 2015As I come to the last long push towards finishing my novel, I need to be thinking about a suitable title. Well, I've been doing that all along and it has gone through lots of changes in that time. It started out as Whitaker's Basin which will remain...
- Getting ready to start my second drafton Nov 18, 2015Some folk hang around in the background and are very easily overlooked. They are not as exciting as the people in the foreground, at the centre of all the action. But then you look a little closer and realise that the nobody in the shadows actually h...
- Remembranceon Nov 7, 2015I'm re-posting this from last year:As come to Remembrance Sunday I am reminded of the first Remembrance service which I conducted after being ordained. I was a recent arrival in a small town in the northeast of England, the new minister of the larges...
- Blain's Mosson Aug 19, 2015Each time we visit Delamere Forest I make a point of taking some photographs of one or two of the ancient meres and mosses which are currently coming back to life as part of the exciting restoration project which has been going on for a few years now...
