#ScenicSaturday October 5th 2024
This continuing series of posts depicts our beautiful world, encouraging people to share them and maybe even help save our unique home planet from human carelessness and indifference. Today’s photo was taken in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, from a walk near Conistone, looking toward Kilnsey Cragg. The area is a beautiful place for walks. …

Currently so busy with the WIP that I'm finding less time to read, so no reviews recently. But I should finish the final editing by the end of the month and I'll be back to the normal output then.
I have been less active in both writing and reading recently, due to moving house. So much has needed doing to leave the old bungalow and move into the new home, that I have had to neglect my loves for a while. But things are now settling down and the house is more our home, so I shall be slowly getting back to 'normal', whatever that may be! Thank you all for your patience.
Hello There, I am glad to meet you. How are you doing as of lately?
I have been writing on my third dark fantasy book, Moonwarriors: In An Blackened Dawn. You should check out my new website, then leave your thoughts and ideas on it.
Keep On Reading . . .

Just finished the final re-reading of book one of my fantasy trilogy. Book two is edited and ready for a re-read before I start to write book 3, hopefully next week. Now all I have to do is either find a publisher or consider self-publishing. How goes it with you, Zoe?
Hi Stuart. Thanks so much for Friending me. How's the writing going with you?Bests, Zoë

Simon wrote: "Thanks for looking me up, Stuart."Always good to connect with successful writers, Simon. BTW, I like the idea of your extra 'shelves', so I might steal that idea from you and make my selection of reading more meaningful for other readers. Cheers,
Stuart.
Hi Stuart - thanks for accepting my friend request
Glad to see you and your books here, Stuart :)

HI, my new friend! Thank you for invitation! Nice site, shelf! it seems we could share a lot of opinions, tips, recommendations, etc, I could learn a lot from you! Keep the good work going! LET THE WONDERFUL NOISE OF THE SEA ALWAYS SOUNDS IN YOUR EARS! (a greeting of the water dragons' hunters - my Tale Of The Rock Pieces).BTW, you should never shave your beard and moustache ;)! You must be very proud wearing them, that's the appearance of the Mountaineers, the only people who could become and train wizards in antiquity...

Stuart, I read your review of Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. I just saw the Swedish movie adaptation with sub-titles and loved it. I have the books at home but will probably not bother to read them because the story was well done and I don't want that image spoiled.

I'm also Yorkshire (East) and have relatives in Ausie; Sydney and Woodridge & Redcliffe, Queensland. I see you're published, Jill. If you'd like to do a Q & A type interview on my blog, let me know (use the 'Contact me here' link under the welcome on the blog, and I'll send you the material.
Hi Stuart, Thanks very much for the friend request. I like the Word Spot on your blog. I'm always wondering what to blog about.
Thanks, Ellen. I've had a look at your blog, followed and commented on your post about give-aways. Very useful and informative stuff.For the sake of honesty,I should declare myself an agnostic - but I'm not a bad person, really!
Hi Stuart, thank you for the friend-vite. :-)I read your blog--I, too, can't get enough of writing, always working on 2 or 3 novels at the same time. I love, love, love storytelling.
God bless,

Thanks, Aloha. I've just finished editing the first volume of what will probably be a quartet, and started the second volume. Enjoying the work.
Hi Stuart, thanking for the friending. I like what you had to say about the power of words. Good luck with your book!
Looking forward to reading the new stuff - will I find the time? I'll have to make it!
Hey, Stuart:Thanks for the friend request and for marking my book to read. I hope you enjoy it. I see you've also added "The Castings Trilogy" to your TBR list. I thought it was a great series.
Sarah wrote: "Thanks for the add! Happy Holidays!"Hi Sarah, had a look at your blog and was surprised you have no followers, as it looks pretty cool to me. I've followed, btw. You might find something of interest on my blog, as a reader, since I cater for readers as well as writers. Have a look when you have a spare moment. http://stuartaken.blogspot.com/
Jen wrote: "good to meet you, Stuart."And you, Jen. You've had some good publications, I notice.
Still working my way around this site and still adding books, in between writing and all the other things I am involved in.
