As you say, living in the moment & not trying to be too prescriptive with your writing plans has worked out so well. If you'd tried to write a Scandi noir serial killer novel to catch the market, the BL may never have come calling!lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04509400868331534237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291823984059320518.post-68786224781539407562017-09-28T16:43:19.440+01:002017-09-28T16:43:19.440+01:00Of the three blog posts, I've read this mornin...Of the three blog posts, I've read this morning, each one has touched on enjoying life as it presents its self .. I for one am very glad you started to blog and continued. I enjoy being introduced to interesting books, as well as gaining glimpses of your travels, both, literally and through life and I can quite understand why The Golden Age of Murder has been so well received. A shared enthusiasm for a subject, combined with considerable knowledge and that key ingredient .. the ability to write well ..is a very satisfying combination for the reader (and hopefully for the author) I'm also enjoying the introductions to the British Library Classics (occasionally more than the story ..lol)<br /><br />Quirkily enough I also am fond of the references to Cheshire (I grew up on the North Shropshire/Cheshire border & It always reminds me of my father, on Sunday drives mentioning "You always know when you've driven into Cheshire the farms and fields are neater" and I do remember ..at least in the areas we drove through..that he had a point.)Perhaps such memories although not relavant to the subject predispose a comfort able anticipation of enjoyment... which has not disappointed. <br />Anyway I hope you continue to do what you do!

I enjoyed it so much I bought a copy and also the two earlier books. I thoroughly enjoy your writing - books and blog. Here's to many more years of writing and reading!Margaret @ BooksPleasehttp://www.booksplease.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291823984059320518.post-725329041397479792017-09-27T10:45:34.068+01:002017-09-27T10:45:34.068+01:00What a lovely post, Martin, your blog has brought ...What a lovely post, Martin, your blog has brought you thousands of fans and new readers. I for one discovered it entirely by accident, enjoyed what I read (I spent several days going back to the beginning some two and a half years previously and reading every word)and then gradually bought all your books. You make your readers feel you care about both them -I still remember the thrill of receiving a completely unexpected phone call from you in response to something very trivial I had done - and your craft and we share in your triumphs. Long may you and you blog continue to flourish!
