TAKE ME BACK TO THE CHASE…
RE-READING a book you loved as a child is always a bit scary. Will it be as good as you remember? Lots of them stood the test of time while I was re-reading them to my sons – like Norman Hunter’s The Homemade Dragon or Anthony Buckeridge’s Jennings books. But Brendon Chase meant SO much [...]
You want soldiers with that?
Been snowed under with work, deadlines and monster dandruff for the past few weeks, but took a short break earlier to paint an egg. I’m told we’re getting to roll them down Brunt Wingshrapper’s back on Sunday, although whether we’ll get to or not depends on his mood at the time. Maybe he’ll let us [...]
How To Write a Novel, In 3 Easy Quotations About Sculpture
A friend reminded me today of one of my favourite quotations. I’ve had it up on my bebo profile for a long time, without really explaining what it means. Apparently, the great Italian sculptor Bernini was asked how he created such a beautiful marble statue of an elephant. His answer was to get a block [...]

(Ghostly) World Boook Day!
I met two Ghost Goblin fans during my visit to Chandlings School, Abingdon a few weeks back. I have since been sent these great pictures. I present to you William and Thomas Kent. Or rather: Butt-Knuckle (top), and Cold Jack (bottom). And the great thing is – they’re twins!
A failed escape!
Like Barry and Tommy, I found myself shipped off to Glasgow for the Aye Write Festival. Alas, we were not only separated by hotels but also by days – apparently having the three of us together on the same day is a security threat. However, I heard very good things about Tommy and Barry’s sessions [...]
