I’m still wasting away on this diet, having lost 2 stone 4lb so far. (A stone is 14lb, so that’s 32lb in total). Only 8lb more to go before I hit my target of 11 stone, which will take me into the ‘healthy’ range of the BMI. I’m losing between 1-2lbs a week, but that…
I really meant to have some sort of launch event for this, and then it turned out to be the week of the Livejournal DDOS attacks. Most of the people who comment on my posts do so on Livejournal, so I felt that doing anything while it was down was not a good time. Then,…

One of the most magical things about the writing process for…
For this brilliant review of Captain’s Surrender, made all the better by the fact that she didn’t think she liked Age of Sail stories 🙂 I wish I could tell you how much I loved this book, how it transported me, how profoundly it moved me. If this blog did its job, I would be…
