Seems like it is publication day for an anthology which has one of my stories in it. Look very much forward to receiving my copy and getting stuck into it all ...

... is watching Supernatural (US. 33. Victor Halperin), with Carole Lombard.

On today's Weekly Features: Anthony Kane Evans sells a silky smooth story, and Sherry Morris embarks on a quest for our times. thehooghlyreview.com/weekly-featu... @uksherka.bsky.social @anthonykaneevans.bsky.social

I have a short story up in The Hooghly Review today, so, if you have a couple of spare minutes, click in and give it a read. Thanks to @ankitrajojha.bsky.social‬ and the @thehooghlyreview.bsky.social‬ crew! thehooghlyreview.com/franks-hair-...

... is watching: A Woman's Vengeance (US. 48. Zoltan Korda). Based on Aldous Huxley's The Gioconda Smile (published 1922), a story I have read but remember nothing about.

Still working away on a novella that has got way out of control. If you're the sort who goes down the gym/fitness centre, please dedicate your Legs Mondays to me. Fanks! Hope my Bluesky writer pals are having a better time of it.

Sketched out the climax to a novella I've been struggling with for far too long now. Then it's just a matter of tying up some very loose ends. Looking forward to climbing out of it and giving it a break. Hope my fellow Bluesky creatives are having a better time of it.

Copenhagen is a flat city, really. Denmark itself is pretty flat. This can make things pretty claustrophobic at times. You need to get up onto a rooftop every now and again to get some perspective.

In the indie book stakes, just started Coy Hall's The Switchblade Svengali (2024). Has something of a Sunset Boulevard - the 50s film - vibe to it. The prose is clean and uncluttered as one would expect from a Shotgun Honey production. @coyhall.bsky.social @shotgunhoney.com

Today I've been typing stuff up from my notebook onto the old PC using the little-known method known as Nerv-o-rama. Hope my Bluesky mutuals/followers have some method which is working for them, no matter what you're doing!

... is watching (It-Fr. 60. Visconti):

... is watching The Phantom Light (GB. 35. Michael Powell).

Watching Lady Gangster (US. 42. dir. Robert Florey). Let me just tell you, this woman, she ain't made of sawdust, no sirree!

167 action-packed eclectic pages (I'm sure), including an excerpt from my novelette The Cripple Club. The Alien Buddha has spoken. Long live the Alien Buddha and all who fly/float in her.

Just caught a rather hilarious very low-budget film noir. Female Jungle (US. 55. Bruno VeSota). Haven't laughed so much in ages. Don't get me wrong, it's not exactly bad, it's actually rather good, but there is a lot of strange stuff going on here. Available on YouTube.

As some of you may know, we have a book club in our house. Me and the budgie. He surprised me by requesting that we tackle my novelette after we'd finished an E M Forster. "Enough of the Edwardian language, let's get up to date," he said. Unaware that my English is a decidedly 1980s affair.

Just been long-listed for a mag I've been trying to get into for some years now. They've long-listed me before, so let's hope I manage to get over the next hurdle this time. Hope my fellow creatives are getting long-listed, short-listed, published ... (art: Louis Wain)

I asked him (T S Eliot) if he agreed with the definition that most editors are failed writers and he replied: "Perhaps, but so are most writers." - A Personal Memoir, Robert Giroux.
