I now haven’t written anything since mid November and I suspect I won’t write anything more for the rest of the year, given that my children break up from school on the 17th and I will be having to keep them entertained until they go back again in January. I feel a bit lost, to…
The Rainbow Awards have now concluded. So I want to say thank you so much to Elisa_Rolle and all the volunteers who helped her to set up a hugely ambitious awards system in record time and run it so smoothly. Mega congratulations to the winners! Especially Tamara Allen and Kyell Gold, joint winners of the…

As a follow on to my post about the terrible anti-gay bill in Uganda, I found a petition against it. It’s particularly important for the Christian leaders to condemn the bill because the bill is apparently being pushed through by pressure from USA fundamentalist groups.

Another review, another disgruntled author. Recently, since I’ve been reviewing relatively regularly on the SiN site, I seem to have been making one enemy after another. This time, after I drafted and redrafted my review in order to say what I had to say in the most gentle way possible, I’ve been accused of being…
