Hi Catherine - A sudden power blackout means that my computer is down
so I won't check out Goodreads until later. Isn't it a site where
people log what they're reading? Ie, whatever is on there isn't up to
me. Unlikely to have my poetry up there alas, although I noted that
the site Fantastic Fiction does list all my books, including the
poetry. But good to hear there's a small fanbase there.
And thanks for reading The Naming. I'm glad you liked it. I wonder if
you'll follow the road movie? I swear I got over my adverb tic, and I
am quite proud of the last two. I learned a lot writing those novels,
not least a finer appreciation of grammar, and including the fact that
I like making up stories.
Superpoet? Doubt it. No capes here, anyway.
