We have plenty to say and a showcase for Isra Sravenheart this week. Welcome to another silly season. Here we go, less than a month to Christmas, and the world is gearing up. We have the Christmas adverts, TV presenters (and my senior manager) wearing their Crimbo-jumpers. The supermarket shelves are stocked—plenty of bog roll… Continue reading Blog: BBE Blog the 27th of November 2021. Dance with the Devil

Blog: BBE Blog 16th November 2021; Big Wheel Keep on Turning
Note to self; Try not to book training for two staff members during the same week, and then book out every other available hour for live editing. This week has been happening at super-warp speed, and it’s only Tuesday. Last week I had Jo for daily one-to-one training sessions. This week our Laura took her… Continue reading Blog: BBE Blog 16th November 2021; Big Wheel Keep on Turning
Blog: BBE the 11th of November 2021 Me Man. You Woman.
11/11. To the mystic, the hippie, and the spiritual, the 11th of November is a significant number in numerology. If you wake in the night and your clock reads 11:11, it’s said to herald the visitation of a spirit. The number is linked to chance and coincidence, too. For me—well, it’s just the opening to… Continue reading Blog: BBE the 11th of November 2021 Me Man. You Woman.
BBE Blog; The Aftermath 4th November 2021
So first off the ramp. I’d like to wish my son, Mark Simpson, every success with his new business venture. Apart from his pilot’s licence, he has every principal driving licence that it’s possible to get in the UK. Car, Motorbike, HGV 1 & 2, Coach and bus—and now taxi. He was awarded his badge… Continue reading BBE Blog; The Aftermath 4th November 2021
BBE Blog The Great Flood 29 September 2021 ( Part Two)
I worry about my blog and posting it on the reading and writing groups because every group has different rules. I try to include something interesting, be it for children’s books or crime fiction, illustrators and artists and then just general chit-chat about anything floating around in my marshmallow brain on any given day. I… Continue reading BBE Blog The Great Flood 29 September 2021 ( Part Two)
BBE Blog 18 August 2021: Planking.
We’ve had a tough week. I’m highlighting this story because we are just one of the thousands of families coping with a terrible end-of-life situation without any help or support—from anybody. Because this is a general blog with many topics, including writing journeys, I thought it would be worth serialising Alec’s story in three parts.… Continue reading BBE Blog 18 August 2021: Planking.
21st July 2021 BBE Blog A Garage Extension with Climbing Roses.
It’s so long since I’ve had time to write anything blog-wise. Time has got the better of me every which way I turn. So, what’s been happening? All three of us are double-dipped. That makes me feel safe. I’ve got my card to prove that I’m fit to fly—if I but had a plane to… Continue reading 21st July 2021 BBE Blog A Garage Extension with Climbing Roses.
9th April 2021 Logos, Trailers, Covers and Interviews
My son goes on holiday this weekend—I so need a holiday. I’d like a 3-star hotel—I’m not greedy—in a Spanish resort. It would have a pool and balcony, nice buffet food, some entertainment. I don’t want much. I’m not asking for the Bahamas, just a cheap package somewhere for a week away from—this. Imagine… Continue reading 9th April 2021 Logos, Trailers, Covers and Interviews
24 May 2021 Theft, Fraud and Plagiarism
I thought I’d begin with a pretty picture that has absolutely no relevance to the article, just because it adds beauty, and we have an unpleasant warning in this week’s blog. On Friday, I exploded our kitchen—ever the drama diva. I was so busy working that I forgot the eggs I’d put on to boil… Continue reading 24 May 2021 Theft, Fraud and Plagiarism
30 April 2021 All Skyped Out
It’s been another busy week at Best Book Editors, and in our personal lives, things trug on the way they always do. The highlight of our week was having to buy a new toilet seat because Granddad fell on the old one and broke it. Hubby said we should wait until we did the weekly… Continue reading 30 April 2021 All Skyped Out
