Martin family birthday breakfasts followed a strict tradition. First, there were Belgian waffles, made by Belinda, the beloved Hopewell Hotel cook. These were served up with an array of toppings: chocolate syrup, fresh lemon whipped cream, stewed strawberries, and powdered vanilla sugar. The air should have been thick with wafflely perfume. Instead, there was an acrid, confusing smell, undercut by a light touch of smoke.
Hi Guys, I’ve spent all morning replying to fan-mails and signing people up for the newsletter and while this is something I LOVE TO DO, I’ve quite literally run out of time! I badly badly need to get a couple of chapters of Ghostbook rewritten before I pop down to see my Dad who is very sick.
So I hope you don’t mind my duplicating this morning’s post from my own blog.

Big Thanks to Joleene Naylor who e-mailed me her reviews of The Poison Throne and The Crowded Shadows this morning.

Joleene was one of the winners of the Loups-Garous competition back in old 2009. The competition asked readers to illustrate the vision inspired by the words Loups-Garous and the prize was a copy of the first two Moorehawke books.
You might remember this wonderful drawing which Joleene did for her submission?
Joleene enter the competition via an art site we both belong to (DeviantArt) and so she hadn’t yet read either The Poison Throne nor The Crowded Shadows. I’m thrilled to hear that she enjoyed the two books so much! And I’m so touched that she would take the time to write such detailed and well thought out reviews!
Thank you Joleene.
(YOu can read Joleene’s reviews on the reader’s letters page of my website if you like. She also posted them on her blog HERE )

OK, insideadoglings, that’s it from me today. On Thursday, I’ll probably be talking about falling down the rabbit hole when writing, and how it can be bad for your health if you’re not careful. I say probably because, you know me, disorganised in body and mind.
Until then slán.
