Tour also calling at
Gosh, this is unlike me, I’m blogging twice in one day! Here I am also at the Cup o Porn blog, asking “what’s in a name?” http://cupoporn.net/2013/01/01/tuesday-tangent-with-alex-beecroft

Blessed Isle Tour day 2
Today I’m at The Jeep Diva talking about the experience of being shipwrecked somewhere nice with your best beloved. Is it always a good thing? In addition to giving me a guest spot, they’ve also been kind enough to review Blessed Isle here, giving it 5 stars and saying “A novel set in a time…

Blessed Isle Blog Tour Starts Tomorrow
I’m slightly confused, since people on Twitter seem to be saying that Blessed Isle is out already. I thought it came out on the 31st. However, what I’m not confused about is that I’m doing a blog tour to launch the book, and that starts tomorrow: Stops for this tour: December 31, 2012 – Book…

Three good things.
I have three things to recommend today. Unlike Hugh Fernley Whittingstall’s latest programme, they are not three good things which taste great together – they’re probably better savoured apart. 1. Rather than a pantomime, we went to see Loserville yesterday in London, on the advice of our drama-student eldest. http://www.loservillethemusical.com/ Which was a great choice…

Stuff Your Stockings
Oh, I am a bad blogger. I spent yesterday blitzing the house – which now looks pretty damn fine, I must say – and utterly missed the fact that it was my day to post in the Stuff Your Stockings Blogfest http://www.longandshortreviews.com/promo.htm Fortunately, I’d handed the text of the post in months ago, so I…

Oh epic!
Kudos to whoever it was who reached my blog by Googling for “silly men dancing on the road”. I hope you found what you were looking for 🙂

The Hobbit – Not As Bad As It Could Have Been
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey Unlike most people, I’m not a Peter Jackson fan. While I was as wowed and delighted by The Fellowship of the Rings movie as anyone, the travesty that was The Two Towers disenchanted me to such an extent that not even the largely-better-but-still-wrong Return of the King managed to rescue….

Posthumous pardon for Turing?
This never ceases to annoy me: http://www.themarysue.com/alan-turing-official-pardon/ It’s obvious what ought to be done. Either you posthumously pardon everyone who was convicted and punished under that law, or – if the law of the time is the law regardless of how silly it was – you do not pardon Turing. To posthumously pardon Turing alone…

A Rather Furious Rant.
Being too mean and/or poor to buy new books, I went over to Amazon’s kindle store yesterday and downloaded a large variety of free fantasy and mystery novels. All of these appeared to be book one of a series, which made a lot of marketing sense. The risk of liking a free book so much…

Another short post about not much
So, I’ve reached 233,253 words towards my Get Your Words Out challenge of 200,000 words in a year. Having cracked the target, I’m feeling very demotivated towards writing any more, which is something of a drawback. Next year, I can see I will have to aim for 250,000. That gives me two completed new novels…
