Hi Guys!

You’ve heard me talk about Rave Reviews Book Club (#RRBC) before. It’s the book club where members truly support each other and where all you have to do to remain a member is read four member books each year. It’s the book club that’s like a family, though very few of us have ever actually seen each other.

Well, this October, Rave Reviews will hold our 2nd Annual Writer’s Conference and Book Expo! If you’re a Rave Reviews Book Club member, you can exhibit your book(s) to other members, their followers, and readers-at-large for an extremely reasonable fee (when you look at all the other fees that are out there).

Remember you are interviewing the agents and determining if they are a fit for your work, just as they are reviewing you work to determine if you are a fit for them. Don’t waste your time, or the agents, by sending them work in a genre they…

After leaving Somerton church. we felt obliged to stop for a drink and absorb what we had seen. Some of the symbolism will be being mulled over for some time. but on a hot summer’s day, there is no better place than the garden of an old coaching inn for processing those initial thoughts. I just happened to know of one…the Jersey at Stoney Middleton which sits on the edge of the Middleton estate of the Jersey family. Just inside the gates, there is a church and a castle.

All Saints, Middleton Stoney

The castle is now no more than a mound and earthworks. If you didn’t know, you would think it no more than a knoll in the field, but  we have been playing with these earthen castles for quite some time. I had seen it on a previous visit and looked it up, finding it to be listed…
