You wait a year for a blog to appear, and then three come along together. Reflection on writing here:

Writing what we love - Jo Zebedee

This is a quick blog as I’m supposed to be packing up a shop full of books – but it’s an important one (for me, only, we’re not getting carried away here) 2022 has not been a kind year in this neck of the woods. There has been loss, and grief, and there is some […]

ARTWORK by chic2view from 123RF.com It’s a reckless reviewer that ploughs right into the review without a moment for reflection. Yet having finished Guy Gavriel Kay’s latest, …

On Objectivity as a Reviewer

The universe through human eyes is a place of serendipity. We see events unfolding and our minds provide a pattern of how it has benefited us. Unless, of course, you don’t believe in that. Ev…

Secondary Belief vs Suspension of Disbelief

We are all familiar with the term suspension of disbelief. At a guess, less of us know secondary belief. It’s a Tolkienism that he used in a way quite similar to how we use suspension of disb…

Trying to overcome fear of deja-too-vue

Here we go again... - Jo Zebedee

A few years back, I got a lovely grant from the Arts Council of Northern Ireland to write a book. They’re very good at supporting me, and others, in our writing career. As ever, it wouldn’t be a literary masterpiece full of pretty words and beautiful imagery – this one would be a dystopia, one […]

I was joined on the blog today by writer EJ Tett @Mouse whose new book The Beautiful Man is just wonderful. The central character is so very memorable - if a little 'arse-holey' - and I'd totally recommend it - I was an early beta and I've never forgotten them.
