I was invited by John A. A. Logan to take part in A Very British Blog Tour 2013, but being me I was a bit slow to get off the mark, so instead of being part of the tour I thought I would simply explore how British I am by answering the same questions that everyone in the tour did. Now, according to the rules of the Blog Tour, there is a dress code, and as I am averse to dress codes it’s maybe just as well I’m doing my own thing.

Welcome to A VERY BRITISH BLOG TOUR 2013 – a collection of blogs, books and authors who are surprisingly very British. John A. A. Logan invites you to take part in ‘A Very British Blog’ by visiting and supporting the websites of authors involved in the tour and who are dedicated to turning out some of the finest books available in Britain today. Author Christine Miller invited me to take part in this great initiative, and she was invited in turn by author Clive Eaton Each author named at the bottom of the page has been asked the same questions but the answers will obviously all be different. You simply click on the author’s name at the bottom of the page to see how they have answered the same question. By the way, we British have certain conventions, traditions and procedures that are expected. There is a dress code in the reading of this British blog and you are expected to comply with it. © Gluke |  Dreamstime Stock Photos  &  Stock Fr...
