The Annual Bloggers Bash is still a few months away, but that doesn’t mean there’s nothing to do other than twiddle your thumbs while you’re waiting. A regular feature of the Bash has been the Blog Post Competition and, if you click the image below,...

It’s always good to get a review of your book. Even a bad review means the reader has felt strongly enough about something you’ve written to pass a comment on it. In those circumstances, you can console yourself with the thought that at least what you...

It’s not very often I do book reviews. Those I do tend to be of books written by Indie authors. The reality, though, is that, whilst there are some amazing Indies out there, there are also some rubbish ones who’ve taken advantage of the fact they can...

A few days ago, I mentioned the Annual Bloggers Bash Award nominations would be opening shortly. Well, inevitably, the date came and went, and I missed them completely. Some would argue it’s because I have no interest in them. By that, I mean I’m not...

I wrote recently about going to watch Bohemian Rhapsody. The film begins and ends at Live Aid, and reproduces in full the set played there by Queen. Watching those fifteen or twenty minutes of film left me feeling very emotional. In part, it was watching this...

Well, it seems the Annual Bloggers Bash Awards are back again. I am involved in organising the Annual Bash, which is due to take place in London on 15th June this year. From a personal point of view, I have to say that the Awards don’t particularly excite...

When I heard about the movie Bohemian Rhapsody, I dismissed it. I love the cinema but, generally speaking, don’t like biopics, and I’m not keen on recreations of live performances. I’ve seen plenty of the real thing, and you can’t match those. Part of me also worried...

It seems a post I issued a few hours ago was incorrect, so if you’ve read that, ignore it. If you haven’t, just ignore this paragraph, because the rest is correct (or so I’m told!). As the clock ticks on, we get ever closer to seeing in 2019....

Eleven years ago, I was dreading Christmas. I’d split up with my partner the previous spring and she had decided to go to her mum’s for a few days, taking our children with her. It would have been wrong for me to argue. After all, it had been my decision to break the...
