The Terry Pratchett Prize
Yes, that’s right, the Terry Pratchett Prize. I don’t think I really talked about my monstrous fan-ness for all things Sir Terry when last I blogged. I shan’t go into that now – suffice to say that when I met him…
The Pitch
The delightful folk over at the Mad Genius Club did a nice thing for their Saturday Post: submit a pitch for your book in a single sentence, and a single paragraph (the elevator pitch – can you get the interest…
Let’s start again
“It’s been a long road, getting from there to here.” Say what you like, I thought that song was a great opener for Enterprise. It’s also somewhat relevant, as when you look at it – phew, it’s been a long…
