It's just over 24 hours since I completed the first draft of the Black Archive for Rose and I sent it to the editor. That's my first solo book off to the editor I have a little indie champagne* to celebrate and. Got back to that there writing today, a ghostly short story for a friend. That's how proper writers roll isn't it? Monday, 9 November 2015.

Pop Culture Vulture: The Descent of Man

http://equilateral-chainsaw.blogspot.com/2016/11/the-descent-of-man.html

Dispatches from the cultural front line and far less dangerous, but equally interesting, places. Thursday, 17 November 2016. The Descent of Man. I’m not sure I’d go so far as to nominate Grayson Perry for king and queen, as Caitlin Moran does, but I’d certainly nominate him for court jester. Court jesters are traditionally the ones who can get away with saying the unsayable in the presence of the powerful and that’s just what Perry does here. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Philip Purser-Hallard - Doctor Who

http://www.infinitarian.com/doctorwho.html

Short fiction has a long and venerable history, dating back to 1966 and the first Doctor Who. Annual, where a badly-drawn William Hartnell faced such perils as the Zarbi Supremo and the Fishmen of Kandalinga.

http://equilateral-chainsaw.blogspot.com/2015_09_01_archive.html

Dispatches from the cultural front line and far less dangerous, but equally interesting, places. Saturday, 26 September 2015. So I’m sat there, considering life and death. And the poppies catch my eye, symbolising remembrance and life going on as they did in the French fields after the world wars. And these insignificant flowers bring a tear to my eye, reminding me that life continues and that the dead are never truly gone as long as we remember them. It’s a beautiful day.
