I am delighted, relieved and excited to announce Route liked the second edit of This is all I Know. I was pretty ruthless with it, taking it from a story set over four seasons to one split into three parts. There will be more carnage to follow. It was very interesting to hear Ian Daley’s comments and his synopsis of the book. Although you have intentions when writing a novel, often people pick up on other aspects or point out elements which you did not always consider. This isn’t to say those thoughts weren’t there, they were just vying for attention with the nine million other ideas. It’s a curious process having someone dissect your work, a bit like someone discussing your sexual prowess or similarly embarrassing scenario. Anyway, there is more work to be done and I hope to meet up with Ian over the next few months. This book must be my priority having worked on it for so long on it. Hopefully, it will be worth the wait. Hopefully, soon it will be real.

The 23 Enigma – New Article for Stimulus Respond
I’ve just written an article on the ‘23 enigma’ for the ‘magic’ themed issue of Stimulus Respond. Stimulus is a high quality publication which mixes photography, art, poetry, prose and cultural analysis and is refreshingly unique in content, breaking into the ‘high’ class mould without becoming pretentious.
This will be my third publication with them and I am delighted to announce they are making the successful transition from pixel to paper. So it’s good to be on board for the inaugural edition, although I won’t be able to make the launch at The Studio, 55 Leroy St, London, SE1 4SN on the 21st September
People said the internet would kill the publishing industry but the reverse has happened. It’s opened up more opportunities and the possibilities of a wider audience, as well as giving readers the opportunity to ‘test’ publications out before subscribing. Everyone’s a winner, apart from the contributors of course. Yes, that’s right. Another unpaid one to add to the list, but at least this publication is a class act, aesthetic and thought-provoking. Definitely worth the long hours of coffee, cigarettes and keyboard tapping.
www.stimulusrespond.com. Subscriptions are priced at £30 (UK), £40 (Europe) and £50 (Outside Europe).
