Not for the squeamish. I took my phone but didn’t get any photos. I will get some from the Watsapp group and add them. Though not directly related to the subject matter, you’ll be delighted to know. I hadn’t slept and felt like crap. I was suffering from not going to sleep—and yes, I’m a… Continue reading Blog; Alec’s Ashes Part Two

Blog: Alec’s Ashes Part One.
Gosh, I’m shattered. I wanted to write this blog and got as far as the title before I had to take to my bed for a nap. Seriously, I wrote three words—and two hours, bang, gone. I have our staff team meeting in an hour so let’s see how we get on. The first… Continue reading Blog: Alec’s Ashes Part One.
BLOG: BBE Blog; Featuring a Showcase for Lucas Maybury.
This week’s showcase author is Lucas Mayberry, who created Simon, a reluctant superhero. I figured I should probably blurt out a few words about superpowers. I don’t have one—do you? If I had to pick my everyday Superheroes—yay, I made an oxymoron—they would be my two sons. They met and married—in one case—and both… Continue reading BLOG: BBE Blog; Featuring a Showcase for Lucas Maybury.
Sooz; Personal Blog; Three.
Land ahoy shipmates. I haven’t the foggiest idea why I wrote that, but it felt like a good opener. Maybe because my beautiful Croatian holiday in the glorious Mediterranean has been beached, and I’ve been landlubbed—or whatever the term is. It’s been a week of stress and problems. I’m sick of talking about… Continue reading Sooz; Personal Blog; Three.
Review of; The Faraway Kingdom of Ume by Michalina Ogejo
The Faraway Kingdom of Ume by Michalina Ogejo The perfect fairytale. Every element it should have is carefully put in the mixing bowl and stirred into a creamy batter to make the perfect fairytale. Although it’s pure Grimm—it has a new and modern feel. The child-stealing monster is a half-human-half gorilla. It’s an… Continue reading Review of; The Faraway Kingdom of Ume by Michalina Ogejo
Review of: Simon: Not Your Average Superhero. Lucas W. Mayberry
I come to this one backwards because I read the second book in the series first. However, I was so pleased with it that I went on a Superhero search for where it all began. You can’t help but love Simon. He’s had a hard day. His latest interview couldn’t have gone any worse, and… Continue reading Review of: Simon: Not Your Average Superhero. Lucas W. Mayberry
BBE Blog My Alter Ego, Sparky Two
Let’s see how far we get with this. It won’t be for everybody. Please click out now if you’re expecting book-related marketing for somebody, this one’s another personal update. It will have a good dollop of self-pity, a bushell of bitterness and hopefully just enough humour to stop it from being a Dave Peltzer, pity-me… Continue reading BBE Blog My Alter Ego, Sparky Two
Blog: Our Unsung Hero. With A Showcase for Craig Deegan by staff Blogger Laura Lyndhurst.
There’s a story I heard somewhere concerning the fleet of the would-be conqueror Napoleon sailing up a channel to take the city of Venice. Whoever was in charge was unsure of their bearings, so called to a woman on the bank to make sure they were going in the right direction. ‘Yes, you’re all right,… Continue reading Blog: Our Unsung Hero. With A Showcase for Craig Deegan by staff Blogger Laura Lyndhurst.
Blog Sparky
A different blog—see, now this is what I call a blog. Written in the terrible old-style bleed-and-blurt where somebody cuts their wrist and lets it bleed words onto the paper. It’s an old-fashioned journal entry that turned into the pity-me memoir after that Peltzer guy ate his puke for supper. Apparently, I’m rather good at… Continue reading Blog Sparky
Blog: Writing is Easy with showcase for James Shover by staff blogger Laura Lyndhurst
Later in this episode, we have a showcase from wonderful first-time author James Shover. With his brutally told and honest story. But first, last month, an author confessed to being afraid of having her work edited. She preferred doing any necessary pruning herself, with the help of a few friends doing some reading for her.… Continue reading Blog: Writing is Easy with showcase for James Shover by staff blogger Laura Lyndhurst
