Where would we be without him? Am looking forward to reading both books though fear I may need one hand to clutch a whisky if the true and necessary details threaten to overwhelm the gently-nutured country dweller.julia joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09773900100240758504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-60653667217389531892012-02-15T13:04:16.916+00:002012-02-15T13:04:16.916+00:00Good luck with the books - that's a great revi...Good luck with the books - that's a great review you've had already!madwippitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02595748471651052552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-77210664569745298012012-02-15T12:27:20.172+00:002012-02-15T12:27:20.172+00:00Ah ha... proof that the world, even the cyber one ...Ah ha... proof that the world, even the cyber one is very small. Barry Purchese (unwittingly) gave me my first TV screenwriting credit. In 1999 I was flung into BBC by my agent without any clue what was going on to be told I was to step in for Barry Purchese who was having a hip op or somesuch (they could have been lying and now I may find out!) and subsequently wrote Don't Let Go (very quick turnaround which was VERY nice) He was my double hero then because of course I was of the Grange Hill generation. So now that he's got an indie ebook out you can be sure I'm about to click and add it to my review pile. Say thanks to Barry when you see him - and find out if the story 'I was nearly touched by greatness' is true. <br />AND don't worry the epub thing does get a bit easier the more experience you get, but it's still a lot harder than it should be....CallyPhillipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15481379296340077102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-57196703835919707592012-02-15T10:40:01.948+00:002012-02-15T10:40:01.948+00:00Great blog, Jan.

I remember when it came out: about the same time as my Pageants. I remember hoping that Pam Royds really did have the talent to pick winners. Well, she did, though I'm not going to say who. Albeson had a theme which fascinated me - and always has. I've been tackling it in different ways all my writing life: how to effect reconciliation and friendship with people I like and admire even though they were such a baneful influence on my childhood, who ruled entirely my consciousness up to the age of nine as our implacable enemy. I don't want to sound like some old git living in the past, even though I am, but I think that only our generation can really understand that. Albeson is a great book. <br /><br />And I'll tell Amazon myself if you want me to: of course you wrote it. Who else could? Can't they read?Dennis Hamleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15781139870037634374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-50027767498131804592012-02-15T09:24:03.410+00:002012-02-15T09:24:03.410+00:00Congratulations, Jan.
