If You're After A Cracking new Book

I'm always on the lookout for great new authors - my favourite genres are science fiction, fantasy and horror. I like all the usual suspects and have read a great deal of the not so good as well... Imagine my great joy when I discovered an author that was new to me a couple of months ago - I'd like to recommend Phillip Palmer. He's written four books thus far: Debatable Space, Red Claw, Hell Ship & Version 43. I've read Version 43 & Red Claw and loved them both, they are a real breath of fresh air in a sometimes jaded and stagnant market.

I have also been lured to the dark side of the thriller, by another exceptional new author - Grant McKenzie. He has written two novels - Switch and No Cry For Help, again two excellent reads - highly recommended, it's an overused promotional tool when promoting books, but these two truly are unputdownable page turners!

Grant has also self published an electronic novel - K.A.R.M.A. available on Amazon for Kindle.
I have thoroughly enjoyed all of them and recommend any one as a toe dip in the water...

The Wonders Of Watergate Bay

October half term is Watergate Bay time. A magical place attracting garments from Jack Wills, Abercrombie & Fitch and Hollister from the four corners of the world (but mainly London) and dragging their sorry owners with them. Ignoring this influx of well heeled insular tourists with no real appreciation of the beauty they are surrounded by, we have a champion time here every year.
