      I'm getting old. Last week I wrote that I was being interviewed on Penelope's Book Chat and forgot to give you the link. Well, the interview went well. So well they want me back when I release the Stones Creek books. I suppose I talk rather than leave silent gaps which aren't good for radio. I must have talked about nonsense stuff because they […]

    • Book Review – Doing Max Vinyl by Frederick Lee Brooke
      When I started reading this book I had a hard time knowing who the main characters were. We’re introduced to a group of them in just about every chapter. Too many characters, introduced too quickly is a no-no in writing, unless you can break the rules and get away with it. Brooke does break the rules and it works in this case. The situations we find them in […]
