Well, this is going to be the last post in the present version of BretonDiary.
I’ve decided to embrace the modern age and, from now on, use WordPress as my blogging platform.
Doing everything in raw html (and then FTPing it all up to the server), has just got too time consuming. I’m scared to post because of all the work involved.
Well, the snow visited south west Brittany and for a few days we all thought… “Oh, how nice.”
Then we all got sick of chopping wood and continually feeding the fire.
We all thought about trading in our perfectly decent cars….
For four wheel drives that would cost an arm and a leg.
Sometimes I wonder where I have gone wrong in life.
I think the real mistake was not being born a cat.
I look at my two sometimes and think… “Yup, you’ve got it cushy!”
Fed and kept warm – and cuddles on tap!
I suppose I ought to admit that the Girlie is fairly well trained.
She’s a good cook and is great at starting the fire.
And, as for the cuddles on tap…..
Well, www.aTasteOfGarlic.com seems to be going from strength to strength.
I’ve recently interviewed the lovely Karen Wheeler who was kind enough to answer all my silly questions AND send a signed review copy of her first novel, Tout Sweet (I understand that if you can find an un-signed copy, it is worth an absolute fortune!)
Jenny was also kind enough to feature me on her blog… www.ToutSweet.net
Last night I finished an interview with probably the hottest chick-lit author in the universe (definately the hottest one that lives in France), Jenny Colgan – her interview is scheduled to be published on the 8th of January.
Jenny has written loads of books, once worked for the NHS and was a stand-up comedian (not all at the same time, one hopes!) If you can’t wait for the www.aTasteOfGarlic.com interview with Jenny, take a look at her site at… www.jennycolgan.com – you’ll be able to find out all the stuff that I don’t ask Jenny!
I’ve got more interviews coming up and plenty of Life in France blogs to review. If you haven’t taken a look yet, I suggest you have a little peak at… www.aTasteOfGarlic.com.
All the best
For a long long time I’ve been writing.
There are numerous novels that I’ve started and never finished, one novel that I have finished but haven’t managed to get published… as yet.
And a whole load of short stories.
Some of the short stories are influenced (in style and content) by Jim Fogg, who used to write stories for motorbike magazines.
I have collected together the best that I have done and am intending to publish them towards the end of February 2010.
To get an idea of what these will look like (4 complete stories and teasers for all the rest), take a quick look at www.RoadsideTales.com
All the best
