Writer of the month - Me!

Good afternoon everyone.

I had a wonderful surprise in my in-box from Maureen Vincent-Northam last night, an invitation to become Writelink's 'Writer of the Month' (WoM) for August.

I've been a member of Writelink for quite a while, but never expected to achieve this honour, so once I'd picked myself up off the floor, I said  "YES." 

As the retiring  WoM for July, Maureen passed the baton by way of an interview. To view these questions and my responses, click on the link below.

Book Review - Heir to a Murder (STAC Investigates)(Kindle edition) by David Robinson

Joe Murray is the owner of the ‘Lazy Luncheonette’ in Sanford, a business that he inherited from his father. He is also the Chairman for the Sanford Third Age Club (STAC) supported by long time friends Sheila and Brenda. 

He has a keen head for business, keeps his wallet padlocked and his pockets deep when it comes to spending any of his hard-earned cash. A point that Sheila, Brenda and any regular customers are quick to mention in jest, when the opportunity arises.

Book Review - A death at the seaside (Kindle edition) by David Robinson

This is a very engaging and enjoyable read.

Eddie Roberts is the newest member of Sanford Third Age Club (STAC). His sudden disappearance during one of the club’s quarterly trips, leads to the inevitable police investigation when his fishing equipment, coat and wallet are located. Initial suggestions indicate that Eddie may have fallen into the sea whilst fishing off the breakwater and been carried away by the currents.

Writelink launches latest writing challenges

Writelink is a friendly online writing community.  It caters for writers with a wide variety of experience, from those who are just starting out and those who do it for fun, to those who have been published, wish to be published or those who work within the industry.

Missing in Action again!

But it has been a pretty productive MIA on the writing front and one or two other projects.  Setting up and managing blogs for others and actually taking time to polish up some writing that I hope is of competition standard.

A Little Poetic Seduction

Embrace

Your eyes
invade
my innocent soul.
I wait,
  enraptured 

by Love's strong embrace,
as passion ignites, 

I fall from grace.

Variety is the spice of life

Or so the saying goes.

So I have decided to put that theory to the test by trying out different forms of writing.  My recent literary  ventures have been focused around Comedy Scripts for television and radio.
