Where Do You Get Your Ideas?
One question authors invariably get asked is: where do you get your ideas from? It's a difficult question to answer sometimes, because at times we don't know where the ideas come from. They seem to creep uninvited into our heads and won't go away until we write them down.
But sometimes, however, we know exactly where our ideas come from. I've just sold a short story called "Now Departing", and I c Read more of this blog post »

| This museum surprised me by its displays and narrations, and this slim volume (a bit out of date) gives a very good introduction to this excellent place to visit - and a memorial to all of the battles Marines have fought and died in. | |

| A collection that starts well, gets better - and then nose-dives into banality. The early stories are good, but the modern ones are, frankly, hard to understand and overly dense, killing all of the fun. | |
“There's always the possibility that you're going to come across a record that transforms your life. And it happens weekly. It's like a leaf on the stream. There are little currents and eddies and sticks lying in the water that nudge you in a slightly different direction. And then you break loose and carry on down the current. There's nothing that actually stops you and lifts you out of the water and puts you on the bank but there are diversions and distractions and alarums and excursions which is what makes life interesting really. It's fantastic.”
