Bit later than I'd intended, but here's a quick review of the second entry in Fitz and the Fool:

The recent BBC programme on the latest discovery about Stonehenge has had a lot of people talking. I haven’t had chance to watch it, but it is about the discovery of the site where blue stone…

Great review.
@The Big Peat Thanks for that. I think The Tombs of Atuan is my favourite of Le Guin's books. (Though she has some awesome short stories, too.)
Haven't blogged in ages. On why I don't think I quite get this being-a-Northern-Irish-writer lark

Look on the bright side - there's a chance you get to help redefine what Northern Irish is all about!
Have you read many of her non-Earthsea books? I keep thinking I need to get to them, but don't know how they stack up.
I've read a couple of her scifi novels, the ones based around the idea of humans being seeded across the galaxy by a race called the Hain. The only one I really remember is The Left Hand of Darkness, which is definitely worth a read. Even though I can't bring others to memory, I don't recall any major disappointments. I also really liked her short story collection The Compass Rose. 'The Author of the Acacia Seeds' is probably my favourite short story ever by anyone, though the collection as a whole is more literary with scifi/fantasy elements in a secondary role.

The Runaway Novel
Or should I say the run-awry novel? Well in a sense it is both! I recently started my follow-on novel to the one that is currently doing the agent rounds. Although things have moved on a little sin…

Oh dear, I almost feel sorry for Seriuz! @HareBrain
Oh dear is right -- I read that blog post a few days ago, went through it to see if I knew any character names and had read the stories in which they appear, and failed to recognise my own!

I was wondering why you never mentioned the article, and now I know why!
Next time put my guys at the top. And maybe in the blog post title. Or the overall blog title.
