I was thinking about the people we create. Who are they, and what gives them relevance? What makes one book better than another? Two Novels. Book one: Boy meets girl, falls in love and lives happily ever after. Book Two: Fictional story based on fact about somebody who lived through the atrocity… Continue reading BBE Blog: Does He Like Porridge? Showcasing Beverley Latimer.

BBE Blog Showcasing C A Deegan And the Fabulous Cracklock Saga. This week’s showcase for C A Deegan is going to be a very easy one to write. Craig is a fabulous author in his own right.

BBE Blog Showcasing Faye and George Chamberlain.
BBE Blog Showcasing Faye and George Chamberlain. As we lurch into the last few weeks of 2022, we can comment that it’s been a right old year, hasn’t it? The controversial views expressed are my own and not representative of Best Book Editors as a whole. The year’s big news is that we lost… Continue reading BBE Blog Showcasing Faye and George Chamberlain.
Blog; Alec’s Ashes Part Two
Not for the squeamish. I took my phone but didn’t get any photos. I will get some from the Watsapp group and add them. Though not directly related to the subject matter, you’ll be delighted to know. I hadn’t slept and felt like crap. I was suffering from not going to sleep—and yes, I’m a… Continue reading Blog; Alec’s Ashes Part Two
Blog: Alec’s Ashes Part One.
Gosh, I’m shattered. I wanted to write this blog and got as far as the title before I had to take to my bed for a nap. Seriously, I wrote three words—and two hours, bang, gone. I have our staff team meeting in an hour so let’s see how we get on. The first… Continue reading Blog: Alec’s Ashes Part One.
BLOG: BBE Blog; Featuring a Showcase for Lucas Maybury.
This week’s showcase author is Lucas Mayberry, who created Simon, a reluctant superhero. I figured I should probably blurt out a few words about superpowers. I don’t have one—do you? If I had to pick my everyday Superheroes—yay, I made an oxymoron—they would be my two sons. They met and married—in one case—and both… Continue reading BLOG: BBE Blog; Featuring a Showcase for Lucas Maybury.
Sooz; Personal Blog; Three.
Land ahoy shipmates. I haven’t the foggiest idea why I wrote that, but it felt like a good opener. Maybe because my beautiful Croatian holiday in the glorious Mediterranean has been beached, and I’ve been landlubbed—or whatever the term is. It’s been a week of stress and problems. I’m sick of talking about… Continue reading Sooz; Personal Blog; Three.
BBE Blog My Alter Ego, Sparky Two
Let’s see how far we get with this. It won’t be for everybody. Please click out now if you’re expecting book-related marketing for somebody, this one’s another personal update. It will have a good dollop of self-pity, a bushell of bitterness and hopefully just enough humour to stop it from being a Dave Peltzer, pity-me… Continue reading BBE Blog My Alter Ego, Sparky Two
BLOG: BBE Blog, 11 June 2022 Office Banter. Showcasing Author Tracey Gerrard by BBE Staff Blogger Laura Lyndhurst
Well, here I am, still writing blogs for BBE, which might not surprise you, but it does me. Recently, things have been fractious between me and Sooz, the boss, given that she took umbrage at some of the jokes Yours Truly has been putting out in these, at her expense, she says. It doesn’t make… Continue reading BLOG: BBE Blog, 11 June 2022 Office Banter. Showcasing Author Tracey Gerrard by BBE Staff Blogger Laura Lyndhurst
BLOG 23rd March 2022 But a Number Featuring a Greta Harvey Showcase by Staff Blogger Laura Lyndhurst.
I’m sure my friend Amanda Sheridan won’t mind me chatting about our conversation. She posted a book review of something she’d read and said, ‘Don’t give it to your old granny to read’. In the spirit of fun, I had to comment that many old grannies are from the hippy generation and wouldn’t bat an… Continue reading BLOG 23rd March 2022 But a Number Featuring a Greta Harvey Showcase by Staff Blogger Laura Lyndhurst.
