Interview with… Paul Lamb
It’s the third Monday of May, and yet I’m still coming to terms with the fact May has begun. Our British weather doesn’t seem to think it has. This past week has seen rain of epic proportions which I’ve been caught in a couple of times, though luckily not with Artoo whose coat acts like … Continue reading Interview with… Paul Lamb

A great story woven with interesting characters who really come alive on the page. Missteps galore as the reader is taken on this ghost hunt. And, as with all the best novels, once the conclusion is revealed, it all seems so obvious! This is the seco ...more |

A clever collection of stories which looks at the formative years of public figures, the famous and infamous. Some stories had an obvious punchline which gave away who the story was about, but there are a couple I'm still not sure about. I enjoyed this ...more |

“When I was little – eight or nine – I used to scare myself by looking up at the stars. You can see hundreds, thousands. The more I looked, the more I could see. Have you ever done it?”
Josie shakes her head.
“On really clear nights you can see the Milky Way… and the world suddenly seems so small. And I thought, if the world is that small then I must be just a speck, smaller than a speck, totally insignificant in a universe I couldn’t even begin to understand. So I chose to believe that I do matter, that everyone matters.” The waitress leans back in the chair and laughs at herself. “And, yes, I do realise it makes absolutely no sense at all, before you say anything.”

“She didn’t look back. I remember that more than anything else. She didn’t look back. I wanted to mean more to her than that. I wanted her to turn, because I was sure she’d change her mind. And perhaps she would have, and that’s why she didn’t.

“In my world, Adam would like the shy girl who sits quietly in the corner and avoids the gossips and giggles; the girl who works solidly with her head down and her hair falling about her face. He'd like the girl who doesn't care much about make-up and clothes, and whose beauty shines through every time she smiles and laughs. He'd find her mysterious and fascinating.”
