In the blog comments and by email I’ve received loads of suggestions for different ebook websites and publishers. A few minutes ago I got the most helpful suggestion: “There is actually a sub menu in Stanza where you can download a great many Creative Commons e-books of all kinds” The “Online Catalog” tab is right [...]

I’m writing a novel at the moment, a story idea I’ve been mulling over for ages. While it isn’t my best or even favorite idea, it’s very different from my previous completed novel. I think at this point in my writing career (if a career it even is), I need try out a wide variety [...]

Pola drove the van back from Aachen on Saturday, which contained everything we had taken to Portugal for 6 weeks, plus Pola’s accumulated art projects from the trip. Today we finally got around to clearing it all away. At the same time we rearranged furniture. This included creating a large table in the living room [...]
