You're in REAL business again...Wonderful, Jan. You're in REAL business again. How I envy you. And how I agree with you about AE. I wouldn't mind a few ganglions though. Perhaps when I reissue Ellen's People to coincide with the WW1 centenary one or two might boil up. Who knows?<br />But DON'T give anything up when you're writing.

But why should we be surprised? It's back to Arthur Koestler and coincidence - that we should not be surprised when it happens: rather we should be very alarmed if it doesn't. On that premiss is most fiction organised, as are some of the best things which happen in life. I'm fascinated by, and slightly suspicious of, the suddden reappearance of Hess's personal files. Would it be possible for you to see them? Might they ever be on the internet? I'm very chuffed about Charlie Raven. It will be bought and read, never fear. And reviewed as well.Dennis Hamleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15781139870037634374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-62691410627653811022013-09-15T10:04:45.685+01:002013-09-15T10:04:45.685+01:00Amazing timing! It's not clear from your post,...Amazing timing! It's not clear from your post, did the indie and mail mention you and your book? have you been able to take marketing advantage of this scoop, apart from in the local piece? It can be more frustrating than anything when these coincidences happen and you can't do anything to connect yourself to them! Amazing too how these stories and conspiracy theories keep going, and things keep coming out - you'd imagine all docs would have been destroyed years ago.
