I’m really a desparate romantic at heart. The cheesiest cliched film moments, done right, will get me, every time. Desperado was one long bunch of formulaic cheesy moments, filmed on the tightest of tight budgets. But not nearly as tight a budget as El Mariachi, when Robert Rodriquez checked himself into a research hospital and […]

I always like doing these posts because sharing what I’m reading is as much a surprise to me as it is to you. Thanks to electronic reading, I pick up and drop books like lingerie, and I’m in the middle of dozens of books at any one time. So I usually report on the books

Stop #7 of the Bannockburn Binding book tour. Today I’m at Books ‘n Kisses, talking about one of my favourite subjects: history. No, I won’t send you to sleep. I also manage to slide movies into it, and blood and gore, so it’s not all that boring. Swing by for an excerpt that hasn’t been

G’day and Happy Australia Day. The ironic thing is, by the time you read this, Australia Day will actually be over — in Australia, anyway, thanks to the International Date line. But it’s still officially Australia Day where I am. So I’m saying G’day to all the Australians like me, who are parked in places

Stop #6 of the Bannockburn Binding book tour. Did you even know there was a blog at Manic Readers? I only found it weeks after I’d been visiting the site and checking out the reviews and stuff 🙂 Anyway, I’m there today, and wondering aloud about how much people might be willing to pay for
