Last week I asked if people had photos of a sunset on their phone, and had about 50 sent to me. I said it was book related, and here is how. Here is Gloria discussing fear with Harri in my new novel East End Boys and West End Girls, in what may be my favourite thing I've ever written.

Finished my painting of two of the main characters of Mage WIP, soon to enter the query trenches.

I listened to a doc on Studio 54, and it covered the backlash against disco music. It was said in 1979 that rich, straight white men started the anti-Disco movement because black and/or queer culture was always the first targets. 50 years later and ain't that still the truth.

Britain would be much less educated without David Attenborough. Quite fitting that after travelling the whole world his new show will be set around our own back gardens. Might have to watch all his past shows again over the next two months. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
