I have had to re-assess my plans for the year in terms of where I'm at with my writing. There was a family bereavement, and tbh writing was the last thing on my mind for some time around that period. However, I am now getting back into the swing of things and looking at the next year and what I hope to publish. One of the interesting things is that I have been working on the second book in the Gabardi series, Angelo's story, but it is actually quite different in tone from the first one. Problem, what? So I've been going back over and tweaking  The Gabardi Wife to lighten it up a little more so there is more consistency in tone.  It was a bit angsty in parts, which is how I wrote it in the first place and did so quite intentionally. But I am finding lighter books much more fun to write, and it happens quite organically, so I'm working on that. Hopefully, if you were to read the two books back-to-back, you wouldn't be jolted out of the series. So... this year my sched...

Here's a good movie I watched. No, it was a great movie. Ishtar.   I found the dvd in a charity shop. I had seen it years ago, probably on VCR back in the 90s, and it was famous for being panned at the time, but I liked it when I first saw it all those years ago and I liked it even more when I watched it again. It's got Dustin Hoffman and Warren Beatty as two unsuccessful song writers, who get caught up in foreign affairs, so to speak. Guns, and camels, and government agents and all that. Ishtar was funny and so good. I can't figure out how it came to be called one of the worst movies ever, I really can't. Maybe it was just a few reviewers with no sense of humour back in the 1980s who said that and everyone felt like they had to agree or something daft because I don't get it. I really don't. Plus it's got Charles Grodin. Charles Grodin!   Perfect.
