Jonathan’s comments from the Net Work Book Club group.

I wonder if they realise what they're letting themselves in for ;)

I'm thrilled to finally release the paperback edition of FAG. To coincide with its release, I have blogged in detail about FAG's journey, from its conception to now. Please take a look here: http://www.jhillwriter.com/blog/fag-a...

Thanks, Michael! I'm writing your blog post this very minute :)

My latest 100 word review is the film Gone Girl, which is now one of my films of the year: http://www.100wordreviews.com/blog/go...

Actually it's surprisingly quick to write them. You get a feel for what the bare bones of a review need to be. No room for waffle!

Been catching up on my 100 word review blog. You can now find reviews of:

Before I Go To Sleep by SJ Watson (book)
Before I Go To Sleep (film)
A Single Man (film)
The Riot Club (film)

Oh cool! Thanks, Michael! Can I take you up on that offer now I've got a few posts under my belt? :)

Apologies for neglecting this thread. The latest reviews include the films Pride and Under The Skin, Collabro's album, and book reviews of The Pharmacist by Justin David and The Housemates by Iain Rob Wright.

Thanks, Flo! :)

Last week I had a wonderful holiday in Dubrovnik. I've just blogged about it using some of the many photographs I took. You can view them here:

Well, the journey is almost over. I say 'almost over' but in fact I hope it is only just beginning. Soon I shall be releasing FAG into the world as a paperback and, after that, my work on the novel is complete. I've had the best time with the book and it has undoubtedly changed my life.

I've just updated the website's reviews page and you can read snippets from all the reviews posted so far here: http://www.fagthenovel.com/reviews.html While posting those quotes, I realised how lucky I am. Thanks to all readers.

So, what's next? Well, in the very near future the FAG paperback will be released (signed and unsigned copies available) as well as the second (and final) Kindle edition. If you have already bought the book on Kindle, there is very little difference between editions but, if you wish to have the most up to date copy, I shall be notifying Amazon to issue an update. After that, I'll be blogging about the FAG journey and then will be able to draw a line under it. The only thing left for me to do is to get the paperbacks out there and I will endeavour to get them into as many influential hands as possible.

My second novel is coming along well and I'm over half way through the first draft. I also have several novellas and short stories planned for release in the next year or two.

Consider yourselves updated!

I loved Room! Such a memorable book.

It's an intriguing premise. It's holding my attention. I just hope the ending lives up to the rest.

Pleasure, Flo!
