Blog Hosting

You may have seen my interview with the author Patricia Guthrie a couple of weeks ago, here.

Yesterday Patricia offered to host my (as yet not quite finished novel) Two Women a Week on her blog. Needless to say I jumped at the change. If you want to see the interview, read a clip from my book or wonder what I do when I am not rambling on here then just click this link.

Hard Boiled Writing

Hard boiled writing refers to a particular category in mystery novels. It was made famous by writers such as Hammett and Chandler, present day writers who could be said to write in that genre are Paretsky and Michael Connolly. It is the sort of detective story that really appeals to me and in which I am going to attempt to write the new nanowrimo novel that I am unsuccessfully (at the moment) planning. The problem with being a writer is that writing tends to get in the way of writing if you know what I mean.
