It's funny I am writing my sixth published novel, have been well reviewed in the Times and sometimes appear at literary festivals talking about writing. But whenever I read writing advice on here, I feel as if I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing. My advice is, don't read writing advice.

Only had 2 glasses of champagne, but I hadn't eaten anything this morning. Sitting outside my home (on the pavement), on my seat stick, I could have gone to sleep! Had to come in before I did so! 😴

Funeral at Golders Green Crematorium. We were lucky to get seats, it was so crowded. Further service at Ealing gurdwara, but some of us went for Indian snacks and Champagne to toast the deceased (who loved fizz). Some of us can't sit on the floor any more!

The first US census noting immigrants’ places of origin was in 1850, and it would record nearly 30,000 people born in Wales. All of these would’ve spoken Welsh, and many of them raised their American children speaking Welsh✍️ Jerry Hunter wp.me/p8Mk4U-1jvx

Today is the 251st anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops.
I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.

I have discovered a used book store near my home that actually has a functioning website. Most don't. But this one you can order books and it will also tell you if they have a used copy in-store, which is amazing. Saves me so much time. Just because of that they get more of my business.
