That’s the question I’m asking myself after doing my best to use this apparently essential social media tool. Firstly to declare my interest as they say on political shows, I’m not much one for Social Media. I just see most of it as a waste of time and resources with the resources being my time… Continue reading Twitter Etiquette – Is Twitter just for twits?

Official Book Promo Video for V1 – Vixen (The best live action book trailer ever!!)
Writing is by necessity a generally lonely profession. You don’t get that many outgoing authors but the introverted writer is almost a stereotype. I’m quite happy writing by myself if I don’t have anything else to do then I can generally be found on my computer from about 6 am until 7 pm or later.… Continue reading Official Book Promo Video for V1 – Vixen (The best live action book trailer ever!!)
Is there Life on Mars, is there life on Earth?
I’ve spent 11 hours today editing my new book whilst listening to constant features dedicated to and music from David Bowie in BBC 5Live. I remember the first time I came across David Bowie, I was about 3 years old in 1977 and I was going through my mother’s record collection st my grandparents. Already… Continue reading Is there Life on Mars, is there life on Earth?
The Epic of Beowulf
Last week saw the premiere of a new ITV show in the vein of Game of Thrones, The Vikings and The Last Kingdom, Beowulf. Whilst less intense and made to appeal to a wider audience than the other shows, many may be unaware that Beowulf isn’t just based on a classic work of literature but… Continue reading The Epic of Beowulf

Star Wars: The Force Awakens Review (No blasters, no bla… I mean spoilers)
I distinctly remember going to see the very first Star Wars film all the way back in 1977. It was the first time I had ever gone to The Pictures and I was a little less than 3 and a half years old. I remember being amazed by the special effects even then and the… Continue reading Star Wars: The Force Awakens Review (No blasters, no bla… I mean spoilers)

Me on the BBC! (How To Get Rich Using Airbnb)
Forgetting the dreadful grammar though rather catchy title of this particular blog, I thought that I would share a recent interview appearance I made on the national BBC radio network over here. Whilst I was on holiday in Croatia two weeks ago and staying in a very nice and extremely low-budget Airbnb accommodation, I was… Continue reading Me on the BBC! (How To Get Rich Using Airbnb)
A Day Trip To Montenegro & Casino Royale
I’ve reached the mid-point of my week long trip to Dubrovnik, Croatia. Having spent all the previous day out in Mostar, Bosnia I was wondering whether anything could come close to beating that incredible day. With my energy levels still high, I made an early meeting rendezvous with my guide Danijela. I was still pre-occupied… Continue reading A Day Trip To Montenegro & Casino Royale
Walking the walls of Dubrovnik
My first full day at Dubrovnik had a mighty big to-do list even if I were only to visit the highlights. Of course if you come to Dubrovnik and only do one thing, walking the city walls is that thing. I went up on Sunday morning at 10am and for the price of 100 Kune… Continue reading Walking the walls of Dubrovnik
