The Books of Corum
Introduction As a teenager, my go-to fantasy writer was Michael Moorcock and I was sort of introduced to him through the works of Hawkwind. He supplied poems like “Sonic Attack”and “Black Corridor” (also the name of one of his books) for their “Space Ritual”. I read the Hawkmoon and The Runestaff series and enjoyed them as an alternate future / past Britain involving fantasy and time travel.

ABBA - Voyage
The Introduction I am always wary of bands reforming and players and managers going back to football clubs. Sometimes they need the money, sometimes the fit is right and sometimes it just does not work at all. Roxy Music’s various reincarnations have all worked and Fleetwood Mac rejuvenation with Stevie Nicks and Linsay Buckingham were notable successes.

What Should I Write?
Introduction I haven’t written anything about writing and creation recently, and I have been told that I am lazy and my writing is rubbish and I post too much so nobody reads my posts. These have all been put forward as constructive criticism that I should take notice of.
