This is something I just want to get off my chest, because it’s been bugging me for years that I’ve never been able to really define it. And it’s all about books I love to read. I’m putting it up on my site as a Blog entry (which means it will have a “posted” date) […]

Been a long time since I’ve been in here blogging, I know, but I’ve been waiting for several things to happen, all of them resulting in a completely new, upgraded and radically different interface… Trouble is, like everything new, upgraded and radically different, it’s taking more time than we anticipated. But we’re getting there and […]

Apparently my musings on the connection between William Wallace in "The Forest Laird" and the possibility that he might have served as an archetype for the legendary Robin Hood have set the cat loose among some highly flustered pigeons. It's certainly attracting attention in the UK, despite the fact that the novel has not yet […]

I can't believe this latest Book Tour is over . . . and while it was going on, I couldn't believe how much time it was consuming. But I loved it nonetheless and paradoxically, in one sense at least, it just flew by. That sense of paradox, of living through real-time experiences in a world […]

It's been a while since I added anything here, but I have a couple of topics bubbling at the back of my mind and I'll apply myself to posting them next week, as soon as I get to the end of this seemingly interminable book tour, which has been busy enough and hectic enough but […]

A couple of days ago, in preparation for my upcoming book tour to promote the new novel, The Forest Laird, my publicity people at Penguin Canada asked me to write a "remote" blog entry for inclusion on the website of one of the better-known independent book stores I'll be visiting in the course of my […]

Remembering.
I found this piece the other day by accident… I wrote it eight years ago, on November 11, 2003, Remembrance Day, and it's still valid.
