More Video Roger Yup, that super writer chap, Roger Morris, has posted a sequel to his writer’s life video. Well worth a look. He has a lovely cat (who I think secretly writes his books for him). I seem to remember reading (at the back of Stardust) that Neil Gaiman’s cat dictated the story to […]

Late to the Blog Party Almost every blog I’ve read today has mentioned this, relating to the The Liar’s Diary by Patry Francis. Just shows how us bloggers can think of people other than ourselves at times. Brilliant.

As Promised … a picture of Leading The Dance’s cover (as mentioned below and here). *** And I’m still with my head down, writing, writing, writing.
