THOMAS LOVE PEACOCK LUV TOM by KENNETH GEORGE KING is now available from Amazon worldwide and in all good retailers - Hardback at £20; Paperback at £10 and E-Book at £5.

Already almost sold out in pre-orders (which means all printing and publishing costs covered). It's the biography of a blade of grass - plus a bit more.
Not recommended for vegans or women without a sense of humour.
Highly unusual - for instance it's illustrated in glorious colour.

It will offend millions.

It's co-written by Percy Bysshe Shelley.
You may think he's dead. He's not.

Buy it, read it, laugh with it, laugh at it.

Looking forward to reading!

As someone who has been known to write fiction myself my first question is: do you outline in advance or are you a "discovery" writer who finds the story through writing the first draft? Or where on this spectrum do you sit?

(Boring for everyone else, I know sorry, but fascinates me...)

Bit of a combination WYOT. It starts with an idea (as you'll see in the Dedications - thank you, Stephen Fry). Then tends to find different directions.

First you drink whisky then move up to hard drugs and then hope for the best.

Not everyone is William Burroughs GM!

Not a terrible post, but I didn't post it.

Apologies - it sneaked through. Most of the other stupid Barney posts got deleted.

Similar. I can't outline the whole thing in detail before just kills it for me - for a first draft I bullet point outline each chapter as I go. Must write one in 2023.

You mean he impersonated us even more than we see!!

I'm afraid Barney is a tragic victim of the lockdowns he advocated for...
