I had a stay-at-home book day yesterday, not just writing one but continuing to read the book about Victorian London that Colette bought and brought me for my birthday. So, today, I thought I would take ‘book’ as the word of the day.
Booking a ferry to Symi? You’ll see there’s a link to Ferry Scanner over there on the right. I was just looking at it to see about tickets for Mother and George who are coming over in June, and on the day they leave Rhodes, there are seven passenger ferries available from 8.00 in the morning until 12.20.
Looking for a Book to read? You might like historical fiction, in which case, you’ll find a couple of my titles in a KU promo this month, plus a load of other history-fic books in a range of periods and genres. KU is Kindle Unlimited, btw.
Research Books. Below. A few of my research books on a temporary shelf in the office. The other bookcases are full already, admittedly, one of them is half-full with the models I’ve been making. I tried to clean one yesterday while Harry was working on his car kit after a blinder of a piano lesson, but it’s hard to get the dust out of all the intricate places without knocking bits off. Which is what happened, because the glue dries in the summer heat. Still, that and fixing a new seal on the oven were the triumphs of yesterday.
Symi Books. I have a few reminiscences about moving to Symi and living here for 20 very odd years, and those links are also over there in the right column. The first of these books is from the early days of self-publishing, which was quite a while ago now. After four Symi books, I decided I’d move on, though one of the early novels is set on Symi (Jason and the Sargonauts), and the history side of it is as true to reality as I could make it. the rest is just camp farce.
Books written on Symi. For the past seven or eight years I have been writing full time and have been adding to my Jackson Marsh pen name catalogue. He’s now got over 30 books under his belt, most of which comprise my three Victorian mystery series. Each one of these has been professionally proofread, had a professional cover design and in more recent years, a professional layout. I’m pleased to say they’re doing okay-ish, not enough to live off, but we live in hope. More info here.
Table Booked. We’re having lunch with friends in Yialos tomorrow, and the table is booked. There’s that’s it for local news today, so I am now going to get on with my next book, ‘Where There’s a Will’ which is just entering the final reel.
