Create your own Dan Brown novel!
ByAlex Beecroft December 1, 2007

I got this from CWIL (the Cambridge Writers of Imaginative Literature writer’s group). Ever at a loss for how to generate the plot of a world best seller?

Even my concerts are Medieval
ByAlex Beecroft March 21, 2008

A very Marian evening For the first time in what seems like several centuries, Andrew and I went out in the evening on Saturday, leaving the kids at home with a babysitter. We went to Ely Cathedral, where the Mediaeval Baebes were doing a concert. The Mediaeval Baebes are sort of the Spice Girls of…
