Today marks 3 years since we lost my dad. Sometimes, I feel every one of those days, sometimes it feels like it's only been 3 months. I miss him a lot (we all do) and even now, I'll see an ad for a book or TV show and think "Oh, I must tell Dad about that". Hug your loved ones.

I don't normally discuss politics here but I heard this on the news on the way home and, wow - this level of delusion is terrifying and the fact that people will believe it, simply because he says it, is equally terrifying... www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

In 1985 (40 years ago!), me, Rob Nichols, Mark Guyett, Sean Marshall & Steve Corton resurrected the Montsaye Student magazine while in the Sixth Form. We wrote, illustrated, sold ad space and designed the entire thing and it was a big success. We even got into the local paper... 🙂 #FlashbackFriday

Trying to catch up on films that I wanted to see but never quite got around too and, last night, Alison & I saw "Seven Psychopaths" (which was excellent) and "Against All Odds" (which was good but petered out).

Here's a good answer to the "why do you hold onto books?" query. I bought this from a paperback spinner in Great Yarmouth in 1987 and it survived shelf culls and house moves before I read it in 2014. It's excellent and difficult to pick up now without spending silly money.

I was 5 in 1974 and me & the kids in our street were such massive fans of the Adam West "Batman" series, our mums made us masks and converted headscarves, towels and curtain into capes. Those were the days, eh? I'm front right, with my late sister Tracy next to me. #flashbackfriday #nostalgia

Always a thrill to be a thriller pick in The Times! "an intriguingly flawed and well-realised protagonist" "Jesmond’s grasp of the gritty intersection of crime and geopolitics makes the stakes refreshingly real-world" "claustrophobic climax in pitch-black tunnels beneath Glasgow"

After some epic procrastination, I've started Book 8 and realised it's almost 3 years since my first thriller, DON'T GO BACK, was published by @thebookfolks.bsky.social - that's a lot of words and readers and I want to thank everyone who's supported me through this adventure. Here's to the next 8!

Thoroughly enjoying the treasure trove of 80s horror films I'm finding on Amazon Prime - this was suggested to me last week and I've wanted to see it for a long time. Last night, I finally did. It was as enjoyably terrible as I'd hoped :)

Dude & I finally managed our Dude-n-Dad day out in Leicester yesterday. It's become something of an annual tradition for us - lunch at Holly's, a wander around the shops, drop in to Joe's old toy shop and do a little Pokemon hunting! Marvellous!

Alison & I were talking last night and it came up about Look-In magazine, a weekly comic for kids in the 70s/early 80s billed as the "Junior TV Times". She doesn't really remember it, I was a big fan from 1976 (or so) through to about 1981. Anyone else a fan?

Finally got to see this tonight, after years of wanting to (found it on Amazon Prime - it's called "Small Change" over here) and it's as marvellous, funny, sad and moving as I could have ever expected. What a genuinely wonderful film.

Anyone else remember The Crunch comic? I picked it up after Bullet (my favourite) was absorbed into Warlord and The Crunch was great fun, though it only lasted 54 issues (1979 into 1980). I wrote a blog post in celebration, on its 40th anniversary - markwestwriter.blogspot.com/2019/01/nost...

Finally caught up with this tonight, which I've wanted to see for ages. A 1981 Ozploitation film (on the strength of his work on this, Richard Franklin went on to direct "Psycho 2"), with plenty of Hitchcockian touches and a nice nod to "Rear Window". If you get a chance, give it a go.

My current read and it's brilliant - published in 1977, it feels like a proper TV movie of that era and that's just perfect! Every year, I set myself a little mini-target with my reading and for 2025, that's at least twelve old-school horror paperbacks! Off to a roaring start, I reckon!
