GRAHAM HIGSON lives in an outlying Pennine village and shares this blustery environment with a growing collection of books, a workshop piled high with offcuts of oak, his understanding wife and one mean mortgage. His two grown-up children are among his best friends.

Having written professionally for over 40 years (when he was at school, he says)), Oak Seer: A Supernatural Mystery was the first of his published novels, followed by Flither Lass, his historical novel set during WW1, and his How Much For a Little Screw? series of fictionalised memoirs

He lists his hobbies as swimming, reading, watching lots of screen drama, helping to republish the novels of Leo Walmsley, and searching for that elusive moment of self-discovery.

Being a multi-genre author, by guest-blogger Lucinda E. Clarke


As promised in my last post, here guest-blogger Lucinda E. Clarke talks about some of the challenges of being a multi-genre author, and will be of interest to both readers and fellow writers.
Once upon a time, in the age of the dinosaurs when people actually paid me to write, I was commissioned by the South African Broadcasting Service (SABC), firstly for radio and later television programmes. The Read more of this blog post »

Quotes by Graham Higson  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“She knew that by the morning she would be suffering from arse-ache. She smiled, remembering how, as a child, this was what she thought women were suffering from when their husbands went missing at sea. Arse-ache-heartache, they could sound the same to her.”
Graham Higson, Flither Lass

“Reputation is what other people know about you. Honor is what you know about yourself.”
Lois McMaster Bujold, A Civil Campaign

“They say a person needs just three things to be truly happy in this world: someone to love, something to do, and something to hope for.”
Tom Bodett

“In youth, it was a way I had,
To do my best to please.
And change, with every passing lad
To suit his theories.

But now I know the things I know
And do the things I do,
And if you do not like me so,
To hell, my love, with you.”
Dorothy Parker, The Complete Poems of Dorothy Parker

Inventory:

"Four be the things I am wiser to know:
Idleness, sorrow, a friend, and a foe.
Four be the things I'd been better without:
Love, curiosity, freckles, and doubt.
Three be the things I shall never attain:
Envy, content, and sufficient champagne.
Three be the things I shall have till I die:
Laughter and hope and a sock in the eye.”
Dorothy Parker, The Complete Poems of Dorothy Parker

“If wild my breast and sore my pride,
I bask in dreams of suicide,
If cool my heart and high my head
I think 'How lucky are the dead.”
Dorothy Parker, The Complete Poems of Dorothy Parker
