My Wordpress site

I probably won't post much on this blog as I have a 'rudimentary' Wordpress site (which I've just updated today). If you're interested in my thoughts on science fiction, Star Trek and the journey to publish my memoir My Name is Philippa, the link is below

Had to get a Sally book because of her support for Palestine and what better place to start than her most popular book. I enjoyed the story of Connell and Marianne, was slightly worried with the amount of shenanigans going on in Trinity (where my dau ...more

Scales by Christopher Hinz

Dino-humans! This is a fast paced book with pretty good characters and an interesting plot. The author certainly can write action scenes, I remember reading his Paratwa series in the 1980s, Liege-Killer and Ash Ock, both brilliant and the fact that t ...more

Surrender by Bono
Rate this book
Clear rating
I was a little apprehensive starting this book as from the start I found it very preachy, Bono talking a lot about religion. So I left it aside and went on to other music memoirs/autobiographies, eventually, a year or so later, coming back to it.
