Guest Post - Tom East

A departure from the norm as I welcome my first guest. Tom East and I go back a long way, and I'm delighted to host him on my blog on the day his first venture into the world of independent publishing begins. Not bad for a septuagenarian.

A Baltic Odyssey

I'm back from a cruise around the Baltic Sea, a little plumper, a little more tanned (yes, we had sunshine) and cosiderably culturally enriched. Although not really writing-related, I had to post to my blog about it.
