  • @Shark_0f_Largo just for clarities sake I did mean the BBC dramas. I don't know if any other radio plays exist. I was a bit dubious when I first sat down to listen but was pleasantly surprised. My only gripe was the awful Chinese accent of David Suc…
  • All the Bond dramas are on You Tube. I downloaded them all using a little free programme called 'You Tube Downloader'. They are all about 90 minutes long and well worth listening to.
  • @Dragonpol Personally I think the task of non fiction writing is more difficult and I could never hope to achieve the standards set in your own blog.

  • LTK then OP and AVTAK joint second
  • Personally I remain open minded. I have little reason to doubt that many 'visitations' can be explained by simple natural/scientific phenomenon. Also deep rooted supersticions and fears also play a part. That said it doesn't explain my friends exper…
  • For all you sceptics out there I must remind you that there actually exists much footage of ghosts at work.................... Casper! As for my own experience. I'm too cynical in general but can only report what happened in a factual rather than…
  • The Train starring Burt Lancaster.
  • I know nothing of American politics but my layman's opinion is that with these two candidates the phrase 'rock and a hard place' springs to mind.
  • @PropertyOfALady Thank you. Let me know your thoughts when you've finished and if you'd be so kind, I'd appreciate a review on amazon. For now work continues on the second Flynn adventure - because AGA was the first in the series I thought it wis…
  • All I can do is recount a couple of stories. The first one happened some years ago when an acquaintance of mine had just moved into a old house. He was a police officer and he and his wife were showing another couple round the place. That couple wer…

  • @Thunderpussy obviously I never noticed my mistake either then it just hit me between the eyes. @Dragonpol - there would have been no problem had you PM'd me. As I said it became second nature for me to substitute & for and throughout my work…
  • I've just released an updated version of AGA which deals with a few errors and a speck of rewriting here and there. My main issue (and one which had completely escaped me even in the rewrites!) was my use of & instead of and. My use of & com…
  • @BradyMOBondfanatic7. I don't actually stick to one formula and my outlines are just that - each chapter will consist of perhaps a paragraph or two of ideas. When getting the outline of a plot together I tend to imagine it in my minds eye as if I we…

  • Here's hoping everyone gets through this safely. Could I ask, given that the area is renowned for such events are the buildings constructed in any special way to attempt to proof them against storms?
  • A visit to a local antiques centre yielded a great book - 'James Bond Movie posters' by Tony Nourmand. It is in pristine condition. The price new was £30. I bagged it for £6!

  • My WW2 Espionage thriller 'An Ungentlemanly Act' is available free today (5th October) to MI6 members, though it is always free to Kindle Unlimited subscribers. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01L3XJLWA
