The point of this blog??? I've been writing novels ... the first one wasn't up to much but everyone told me they liked it. Ok, the second one, titled "Pomponne," got sent out to I-don't-know-how-many agents and publishers, but ... well, you can probably guess the rest. You can read it here, as I post it. Working on a third book, almost done, and as a ... "filler" (not sure about the word "filler") I am here, keeping my mind from bursting I suppose. This is neither the daily account of a struggling writer, nor a serialized version of my book, but there is a lot of stuff on here which captures the tone and atmosphere of this "third book"*

Some of the posts are stories in their own right, some of them may go on for two or three posts, which is a problem I guess if you have just arrived because they are going to appear in reverse order. No worries ... any multiple-part posts should have links at the beginning and end of them ... that's the plan anyway. A couple of good starting points, (to introduce a few people involved in many of these posts) can be found here and here ... and here ... and here too.

Thanks in advance for any comments you care to leave ... they are all appreciated (don't hold back though.)

I forgot the "about me" part ... well, I stay alive by drinking red wine and rum, and eating food bought with money I earn by taking photos ... which is all wrong, that wasn't the way it was supposed to happen. Why is it so difficult to make a living as a writer? It's so much easier ... you don't even need to get out of bed anymore**


thanks for dropping by
