Hi all
So far in 2012 there's a novel to finish and publish in May (was March, then April...), TV sketches to write, a theatre drama and the latest project...a pantomime...'oh no it isn't!'...oh yes it is. Might end up in a costume and being terrorised and bullied by under 10s too! And no, I'm not going to be the pantomime dame. All exciting stuff though.
Off to see 'An Inspector Calls' tomorrow night in Cardiff. Research...and pleasure, as I'm sure there'll be an ice cold beverage or two to help cope with the hot weather. Only had one day with alcohol in March so far...well, t'was a Grand Slam winning day so it had to be done.
Before the theatre trip it's off to Castell Coch: research for the sequel to 'Spectre Antiques' that contains many incidents at, and images of iconic locations in the Newport and Cardiff area. Need to complete the editing process in the next couple of weeks to get it available via Amazon by mid-late May, earlier if possible.
Enjoy the sun, make the most of it, we all know what happens when it's supposed to be Summer.
Cheers

I'm Back
Hi all
You must have thought I'd departed the earth.
2012 has been hectic so far. Invitations to write a number of sketches for a TV pilot; speeches to make in the Welsh capital; the sequel to 'Spectre Antiques' to edit; a pantomime to co-write, a play to co-write; an illustrated collection of short stories involving Aivis the Burvis to complete too this year.
The biggest and most important moment was the birth of my first grandson, Jacob Stephen (what a great middle name). The very proud family are all doing well.
My first speech for many a year yesterday in Cardiff - and didn't it show. All part of the development process but nonetheless terrifying. I got through it and signed a few copies of 'Spectre Antiques' too. The PCS Union and their adult education support have played a large part in my success in 2011 and so it was nice to give something back and hopefully inspire a new novelist to come through from the creative writing courses this year.
I'm hoping that enough will happen from now on to need two Blog posts per month to be posted.
South Wales Scorpions had a tough away test in the Co-OpChampionship 1 first match but came away with a victory. A good start at home this weekend will get us all excited about gaining promotion this season. There are certainly lots of tries to look forward to, for sure, I've yet to see a game where less than 60 points were scored in the match. http://www.scorpionsrl.com/
I'll catch up again soon. But I'll finish today by wishing our proud boys the very best of luck against the French at the Millennium stadium this Saturday. A 3rd Grand Slam in seven years would be an amazing achievement. And this team are still developing.
The future's looking bright...the future is Welsh Red.
Best wishes
