I have just moved to Oldham in Manchester and, as one person put it, become a “northerner”. I’ve moved here to help Oldham Bethel Church with their outreach, responding to a number of heartfelt pleas in the Pastor’s blog. Arriving, I found that several key people were away for the week so took th...

M. S. Nightingale's blog:
Not a fan of formula books that are so obvious you can figure out the bad character in the first few chapters. It would not be fun for me as a writer to know myself what was going to happen ahead of time, like those readers who are compelled to read the last chapter first.

Publishing my first book was a long and enlightening process for me, but I'm excited about it and looking forward to sharing my story with all of you.

Kyle and Junkman trailed far behind the alien.

When I was a young man I worked in logging--falling and bucking trees marked for thinning in research forest areas. I remember one day it was raining heavily and overcast; then the sun started to break through and the sky became blue as the wind forced away the clouds. The sun came out fully. The...

It took me a long time to come to the conclusion that I’ve definitively become a grumpy old man. The revelation came when I was thinking about a conversation I had way back when, during my undergrad, almost a decade ago.
