I have little organisational skills nor an ability to learn new things as demonstrated by my only embracing technology in the last year or so. But I am able to work hard and writing books is something that lends itself well to someone happy to put a shift in. (less)

Or as I put it, worth not the price of the book, but worth the time of my readers to read it. So if I don't have an idea good enough then I don't write.

The Dark Knight…

A drama series about chess becoming a hit show – who knew?

But then the Queen’s Gambit happened, and chess is somehow sexy, something which is no surprise to me having discovered the fiendish game in primary school and played to a high level.

“The truth was that she was terrified of these people and terrified of being rejected, and had decided that she would do nothing but believe passionately in fate. All those years at school learning about algebra and ox-bow lakes and not one lesson in self-esteem!”
Dominic Holland, Only in America

“A sense of humour too. Bloody hell. Was he perfect or what?”

“Got it in two. It would’ve been funny if you’d got it straight away, honest.’
’Sure. Look, I’m sorry, but I’m whacked right now . . .’ Milly’s heart sank. He was going to cry off. ’. . . what with the flight, the delay and some other stuff, so I’m not too quick on the uptake. You might have to nod when you make a joke.’
Milly nodded. She was so relieved she could have hugged him. ‘That wasn’t a joke. That nod, I mean. That was just me agreeing.’
Mitch laughed. ‘I’m slow, but not that slow,’ he said.”
