Hello and welcome. Or as acclaimed short story writer James Thurber gave as a title to one of his collections: “My World and welcome to it”.
Here, you are all welcome to all the delights and possibilities that this blog can provide. That means an eclectic mix from film to fine art, TV to travel and literature to London’s coolest attractions. Not to mention cool mentions of music, theatre and sport and whatever fun and interesting stuff in-between. If art is anything you can get away with, then this blog is all about what is worth reading.
Live, love, enjoy.
You’ll also find out more about my four published books 😀 The first is a short story, the second and third are very different types of short collections and the fourth is my first novel. I’m equally proud of them all.
You’ll find a link to my personal website here.
Why not take a look at my personal website? You can find purchase links, reviews and excerpts of each of my books, plus more information of me as a writer and my inspirations and process.

Hi Alex, good to meet you at the bash! 🙂
It was nice to meet you too. I’ll be checking more on your blog later. Shame I had to leave early. How was the rest of the evening? Did you go anywhere else after 5?
It was good to meet you too Alex. I left at about 5, I wanted to stay longer.
I imagine you had family or something to rush back to… it’s life! 😃
Sort of yeah. The Wales game was on and as I’m half Welsh and they hadn’t qualified for a major tournament, it was a very big deal. I’m glad I was able to see a fair bit of it, chat to most of you and get a real sense of the day.
Hi, Alex. It’s nice to put a face & small part of your life, to the comments ya make on Tosha’s blog. I bet it’s fun being you….
This pleasure is mine. Dale
Thanks Dale. Off to your blog now 🙂

Thanks dude. I’ll have a look.
Hi Alex, it’s the Meg you know. I’ve sent you an email to explain my situation a little. Anyway, my old blog is going away and I’ve started up with a new one under a pen name. Sorry for the confusion!
Done 🙂
Thank you!
