Today’s the day! Kit Marlowe‘s debut novella is now available from Noble Romance. Here’s the blurb: It’s London in the Jazz Age: the times are fast and the women faster. Constance Wynne Hare has men eager to throw themselves at her feet—so why does she pine for the one man who takes her for granted? …

Theatre Round-Up
I’ve been lucky enough to have some great theatre outings in the last few weeks, but I’ve been short on time to talk about them. I slipped off to Massachusetts to visit Shakespeare & Co and catch both The Comedy of Errors and Richard III. The former was in the Bernstein Theatre with the troupe…
Leaving London
I knew it wasn’t going to be easy leaving London, but I wasn’t quite prepared for the way it did happen. It was meant to be simple: tube to Bank, DLR to London City Airport. My cheap flight took me from London to Amsterdam to NYC and then Albany. Not a day I was looking…
Zombie Land
I came out of The White Guard today, hopped on my bike and thought I had landed in 28 Days Later. I had misgivings about the Waterloo roundabout, always an insane mess of cars, bikes and other vehicles and there was — no one. I have never seen the streets of London so empty (at…
Review: The Real Thing

Bike

Yesterday cycled to the Tate Modern. Two new shows setting up, so a wander through the regular exhibits — miss…
London
🙂 Jet lagged but here! More to follow.
Anxiously Waiting
At present, it looks like the flight is on. We shall see things develop as the day rolls on. I realise that I never got a new camera after breaking the viewing screen on mine last summer. Hmmm. In the meantime, here’s my theme song for the flight. Wish me luck.
London Update
Well, I have been a poor correspondent, no doubt — on the plus side, it’s because I’m having too good a time. For some alternate updates of a brief nature, check the Twitter stream in the right hand column of this blog, but even that only happens when I hit some free wifi as I’m…
