Love the new review of my #EastLondon novel ON ROMFORD ROAD: "Warm, witty, sharply observed. Pulls you in from the first page. Rich local history. Everyday moments sit alongside the tension of the criminal family at the heart of the plot."

Don't forget them.
New review of my #hippy novel, Love:
The reader is immersed in the dreams and contradictions of counter-culture idealism. The account of an intense acid trip is a stand-out piece of writing. But it's the parallel road trip that makes this poignant story so alive.

New post: Review of On Romford Road, Andrew Sanger's fifth novel and a family saga about two east end families, whose feud carries from the 1900s til the 1990s. A page turner, with many Forest Gate references.
At night the streets of #Lisbon are paved with reflections. CalΓ§ada portuguesa - Portuguese paving - is mosaic-like pieces of cut stone laid throughout the city in black and white patterns. Here's Rua Augusta, especially beautiful after dark.

Dinner at ENCANTO in #Lisbon. A couple of steps up from regular fine dining. One of #Europe's most outstanding #vegetarian #restaurants. 12 exquisite little courses, each an artwork of flavour ...

You sure? Grimshaw seems to have painted numerous pictures - supposedly nocturnal views of the docks in Glasgow, Hull, Liverpool, London and other places - but they are all almost identical to this one!

#SpringEquinox. From darkness into light. Of all the four turning points of the seasons, this is the most joyful. The most worth celebrating.
βͺSo true. Never quite understood "wanting" to write. If there's something you want to write about, pick up a pen and get started!
