Reading, Writing & Searing Heat
It’s been unusually hot and humid in the UK of late, though it appears conditions will soon be returning to normal. It was 36C here the other day and it has been very sticky at night. Yesterday, while in the supermarket observing my fellow shoppers, I came to the conclusion that summer is the kindest time of year on the beautiful, the cruellest on those who are not.
The supermarket had rolled out some great deals on beer.
I opted for two Cobras and a Staropramen.
What with the heat, Trigga has been seeking the coolest places he can find.
He gave the postman a bit of a fright when he emerged barking from here.
Writer’s block is an ailment that affects many writers. This one is currently suffering from a bout. I have used some of the time to catch up with other stuff, including writing book reviews. It’s a labour of love but one I am adamant helps my writing. Six new book reviews will be appearing in the review section soon. I also ordered a couple of new books. Transgressive fiction and satire – two of my favourite genres.
I’ve been trying to mobilise some interest, from UK readers primarily, in the Necropolis Trilogy. A handful have taken the plunge.
With any luck some of them will be intrigued by my forthcoming darkly humorous book, The Gazebo (Release date: Sep. 01).
Have a good weekend.
At the risk of sounding like a whinging Brit, the weather has been unbearably muggy this week in Manchester so it must have been even worse in London, Guy. Thankfully it’s now much more pleasant. Have a nice weekend. 🙂
Fortunately I haven’t been anywhere near London, Heather. The cooler weather is a relief. We need some rain. I imagine you do too.
I’m going to be very careful before I hit send, Guy. I think there is a gremlin somewhere mixing up my words. Anyway, I hope you get some relief from the heat and your writer’s block goes away. Have a great weekend.
Faultless John. You have so many blogs to visit, it’s inevitable things sometimes go awry. I struggle typing on my iPhone.
