A 5 star review of my collection of short stories, “The Suspect and Other Tales”
I was delighted to receive the below 5 star review for my collection of short stories, “The Suspect and Other Tales”:
“This is a well-written collection of tales, some of which have surprising endings, and all of which make for great reads.
I enjoyed “the Condemned Man” a lot. But “Something Wicked” and “The 8.32” were my favourites”.

Many thanks to the reviewer for taking the time to read and review “The Suspect and Other Tales”.

Muse
Sometimes the words won’t come
And my thoughts run
Confused
Away.
I lose
The sense of what I want to say.
My muse
Doth refuse
To play
Today.
How Thin
Oh how thin
Is the divide betwixt virtue and sin.
A rake’s grin
Or a smile
That beguiles
Girls who flirt
In skirts
Short.
Ought?
Ought not?
Passion hot.
Cool reflection
May lead to dejection.
There is no rejection
When the coin does spin
And what some call sin
Enters in.

Of poets and virgins
Yesterday evening (Tuesday 22 March) saw me with fellow poet, Toby Wheeler at Poetry Unplugged (http://poetrysociety.org.uk/event/poetry-unplugged-2/2016-03-29/). Poetry Unplugged is a weekly event, hosted by the Poetry Café, affording poets the opportunity to read their work. Yesterday evening was my first time reading at Poetry Unplugged, however I was not alone in this as a number of other “virgins” (the label applied by the host to we first timers)! Also read their work.
Those wishing to...

Win a print copy of a Seumas Gallacher novel!
Books: Publishing, Reading, Writing
I’m already a winner!!
Seumas Gallacher has been hosting two Goodreads Giveaways for two copies each of the first books in his Jack Calder series that are available in print. I entered both contests, but then told Seumas that, if I did not win, I was going to order signed copies directly from him anyway, just because I love his books and would like to add them to my personal collection. So he immediately posted those books from Abu Dhabi to my Canadian add...
