SW - Whatever Next? - guest post by journalist and novelist Sophie Radice So the first novel has come out - and another must be written while the momentum is there. Or that’s what I’ve been told.
People are full of ideas for me. They say they miss Anna, the main character in my novel, when they finish reading and so they want to read about her in other situations. Someone has suggested I work on the thrillerish element in the first book and that I should read Sara Paretsky, to learn how to write really good character driven thrillers with a female heroine and with an interesting political perspective.

Quite a Find: The Bankside Rose Production of Shakespeare's 'The Comedy of Errors' I was surprised to learn that foundations of this late sixteenth century theatre were uncovered in 1989, during excavations for a new office block. Without the funding and the celebrity backing enjoyed by the Globe project, supporters struggled to develop the site.
By chance, the day after I wrote the review for the Remotegoat website I visited the Tate Modern again, and as I passed the Rose I was thrilled to see extracts from my review had been pasted on both sides of the board outside the theatre. It deserves to be much better known.(The theatre, I mean - although it wouldn't do my blog any harm, either)

The title refers to an anachronism: 'Failed in London; try Hong Kong'. 'Old Filth is a nickname that the main character, Sir Edward Feathers, acquired during his distinguished career as a judge in the British outpost.
I didn't think I wanted to read a book about a 'rich as croesus' ex-colonial recently retired from Hong Kong to live in Dorset, but it was a local library reading group choice. By chapter two I was hooked, as the old man is stumbling around in the snow, having locked himself out of his remotely-located house and forced to seek help from a hated neighbour (why he hates him we are to learn).

She Stoops to Theatre: Oliver Goldsmith's 'She Stoops to Conquer' at the Hackney Picturehouse, filmed live at the National Theatre When Katherine Kelly, as Kate Hardcastle, winked or when Hastings made a humorous aside it was in close up, but when the whole cast sang and dance on on the wide stage, the camera panned away to show that too. There were two or three blips in the sound, but otherwise it was bell-like.

The rooftop helipad landing jolts me to clarity. Jen’s unconscious, tubes and bags attached, her right pant leg cut away. A lorry, a team of people, and ... Read More HereRead Full Post
Today we begin another short journey of 50 words. Thanks again to those who asked for more. When I had written Flight it originally had another four episodes (11) but I cut it back to seven feeling that particular episode was a logical ending for the little series of thrillers. Last week, after hearing from you out there in interweb etherea, I rewrote ...Read More HereRead Full Post
