Going Wild With Books

BBC Radio Wales Interview
Chris Corcoran’s series of shows on groups in Wales focussed this week on Cardiff Mensa. We were interviewed a few weeks ago (I mentioned it on my MySpace Blog) by the BBC blokey with the furry microphone. It was a fun evening and I recorded it myself for my podcast CastingPods, but [...]

Cover Unveiled, Video at Meet The Author

It may be too much for my poor heart to cope with, but I found out that the video we shot back in March has been put online at MeetTheAuthor.co.uk. I did a bit of mental jumping around the room at this. Then I distinctly remembered David saying he doesn’t make the video available until [...]

House of Books (soggy books)

What a week I’m having. I’m on a roll: books, writers, rain, Hay, books, popandcrisps, more books, more rain. On Saturday I went into Cardiff in the morning, to have breakfast in the market and then harangue my favourite Waterstone’s manager into putting out some leaflets. The writing competition I’m involved with – a joint [...]

Waterstone’s What’s Your Story?

This is my submission to Waterstone’s What’s Your Story? Competition. Click here to see the full size image.
The closing date for the comp is 19/06/08. I heard about it via a Waterstone’s email newsletter and when I looked at the site there were 300+ entries. A few days later and we’re at 900+ so it looks [...]

Silence Cover Pending

Had a great boost yesterday. Legend sent me a draft of the proposed cover for my novel. Wh-hoo! I can’t upload it here because it’s still in the design and isn’t my copyright anyway, but I can tell you that I’m very happy with it. They’ve used my idea of the title spelled out in [...]

Of Course I’m the Best

I have to lighten up. After posting two angry blog posts (about crap food and crap TV), I have random bloggers posting comments that I sound too bitter. Thanks Ida. Oh well. I am a happy person really, I just have had a few more Eeyore days than Tigger days lately. Got a lot going [...]

I’d Do Anything rather than watch that crap

Another rant, this time about reality bloody TV talent shows. What a load of rubbish! Since when is it entertainment? I’ve said it before and if the programming continues to go downhill then I’m sure I’ll say it again. If I wanted to see people making arses of themselves, I’d look out of my window. [...]

Four Main Food Groups

What bollox is this? According to the latest misleading advert, cats need equal portions of chicken, grain, apple and vegetables. If my cat could talk then she would tell me that her four main food groups are fish, rodents, small birds and milk produce. Hold the fruit. Ppl, you are being conned! Because you have [...]

RSS Success! Ha! *punches air*

I’ve worked it out. Wh-hoo! Now my home page has the blog on it so I don’t need to domain-map (phew). I’ve worked out that all this blogging activity means that I’m a bladdict. I wonder if there are meetings for that? The Meeting is fabulous, that’s something I’m addicted to for definite.
Anyhoo, what else [...]

Loadsawork!

Been doing loads of work for Pop&Crisps and also promoting the book and goodness knows what. Bank Holiday weekend and mowing the lawn looms. Actually just noticed it’s raining. Meh. I am officially transferring my blogging activities here this weekend, so going to tell MySpace to blog off and invite all my friends over for [...]
