A SPACE HOPPER KILLED MY HAMSTER … amusing tales of growing up in the ’60s & ’70s

Done! 🙂 THIS is the reason I’ve been so quiet / missing in Blogland these past few months. My new book has been designed, formatted and uploaded to Amazon, ready for publication this coming Friday, 4th July. I’ll no doubt have a bit more on this (you bet I will 😀 ) later in the […]

Finally published!

Just over a year ago, I was asked by Summersdale Publishers (part of the Hachette UK group) if I’d like to ghost write two ‘gift books’ for them. It’s not the kind of thing I’d even contemplated doing before, but the opportunity of working with bona fide publishers was too good to dismiss. Though being […]

Thankfully, our plane left from the older, though recently renovated of Goa’s two airports, and was reached after only a twenty-five minute drive as opposed to an hour or so […]

‘How To Survive …’ – exciting news!

EXCITING, OR WHAT?While on holiday, I received word from my publisher (Hey! Get me! ‘Publisher’ eh?) that the two books they asked me to ‘ghost write’ have now been sent to the printers. Each book has an initial print-run of 5,000 copies! That kinda tickles me, that does. 😀 It’s still a wee while till […]

Hello … I wish to register a complaint.

Hello. I’m British. So, of course, it’s a ‘given’ that I should incessantly complain about the weather. “It’s too hot; it’s too cold; it’s too wet; it’s too dry; it’s too windy; too icy; too snowy; to dreigh.” We even do, “Isn’t it lovely today today … tomorrow’s bound to be crap though.” But wait..
