Back to mine - classics weekend

Because of my recent reviews in unfamiliar genres, I indulged in reading Rudyard Kipling The Jungle Book and Charles Dickens Oliver Twist. Oh, what a joy. It sits so well. Read and write what you feel. Reviews to come.

Happy 2023

Serenity comes from being in tune with your inner self.
Peace abounds when surrounded by loved ones.
This is my promised land, at one with nature and my Cocker muse, Buddy.
Writing emanates from all the above.
I shall throw myself on the pen and enjoy.
Not just at today’s celebrations, but life.

Write with relevance - review

Skilfully written!
This is a beautifully written book.
It has great flow that comes from highly efficient writing that makes it easy to read.
Combined with riveting content, it was hard for me to put down and I read it twice in quick succession.
If I was to choose a word to describe all the issues touched on by this book it would be 'inequality'.
Farrell is obviously a man with integrity and conscience that provides the driving force for a cathartic discussion of these inequalities and how he coped with them in honest, emotional writing.

The Chameleon

The greatest gift an author receives is feedback from readers.
Be that an online review from where they purchased it.
On the writer's social media pages.
Or via a personal message.
Thank you so much and look forward to more.

Favourite sentence about The Chameleon

You juxtapose so well the menace with the mundane.
