Straight from the Stacks: February 2010
http://straightfromthestacks.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Straight from the Stacks. Wednesday, February 24, 2010. F is for Felber. Queen of Shadows: A Novel of Isabella, Wife of Edward II by Edith Felber. I absolutely loved this novel. Felber publishes romance novels and historical romances under the name Edith Layton, though I have never read any others of hers. The following is the product descirption that I copied from Amazon. I know I wrote a review of this book for my library's staff reccomendations shelf, but it seems to have been misplaced. Eleanor the Q...

Lucy Ann White: January 2012
http://lucyannwrites.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
My first novel, A Little Blue Jacket, came out in small format paperback in May 2007. So what's next? I've got the idea, started the research but what form should it take? Still working on this one: as I grapple with structure, narrative and style perhaps I can ask your advice. And it's a solitary business this writing: please keep me company as I scribble about books and art, ruminate about the countryside and enjoy the garden through my window - I should like to have you along. Sunday, 29 January 2012.

A Case of Writer's Blog. This was broadcast on Radio Cumbria, along with four others from North Cumbria Scriptwriters. In December 2010. There are some notes and photos elsewhere on this blog.

Guide: male or female, young. William Wordsworth: slight Cumbrian. Walter Scott: refined Lowland Scottish. Fx one set of footst...

A Case of Writer's Blog. Sunday, 12 June 2011. The Smell of Chlorine. I have started writing my book! It is to be a memoir of my old headmistress and my East End childhood and education. This may or may not be included, but I will also post it on the site I set up for gathering and sharing stories. About my school years, where I have written about one or two other memories. And what has brought me here? It wasn’t just the chlorine, eye stinging and almost visible- us east end kids used to pee in th...

A Case of Writer's Blog. Tuesday, 31 May 2011. I hope you're teaching Quality. I have discussed genre elsewhere, and have always said, what matters is quality. Now how do you define Quality? Sarah … came trotting by with her watering pot between those two doors, going from the corridor to her office, and she said, "I hope you are teaching Quality to your students.". . Why else would people pay fortunes for some things and throw others in the trash pile? I am at the age where I can no longer be bothered w...

A Case of Writer's Blog: COUNTRY ROADS
http://conswords.blogspot.com/p/country-roads.html
A Case of Writer's Blog. This is a short play, written for local radio. The gloomy subject matter and difficult SFX meant that it wasn't deemed suitable for broadcast, but I still feel it has something to say about our community. I will be interested to see if it speaks to anyone outside that community! I have removed the titles of, and quotations from, the Country and Western songs so beloved of the Cumbrian farming community- go into any kitchen in our area and the radio will be playing country music!
