Fonts and Fiction: Book Reviews

http://fontsandfiction.blogspot.com/2015/02/book-reviews.html

Tuesday, 24 February 2015. Reading is an important part of writing. It helps to immerse the writer into the same genre as their novel. While I was writing my third novel, Arlette's War. I read many novels set during the second World War. Out of the dozen or more I read over the course of the year, I've chosen four favourites to write short reviews about. Fair Stood The Wind For France by H.E. Bates. Fair Stood the Wind for France. Gardens of Stone by Stephen Grady. The Book Thief by Marcus Zusak. Set in ...

Fonts and Fiction: Writing Historical Fiction

http://fontsandfiction.blogspot.com/2015/06/writing-historical-fiction.html

Friday, 5 June 2015. I'm writing the second book of a trilogy set in France during World War 2. As LP Hatley says in The Go Between. The past is a foreign country; they do things differently there.'. Is set in rural France and tells the story of a farmer's daughter during the five years of WW2. My protagonist, Arlette Blaise, takes her grandmother back home to Oradour-sur-Glane on the day of the massacre. So apart from imagination, how do I strive to write exact historical fiction? 7 Television films and...

Fonts and Fiction: April 2015

http://fontsandfiction.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html

Monday, 20 April 2015. My visit to The London Book Fair 2015. At the Children's Hub a couple of hours later, there was a talk about The Power Of Reading: Developing Reading For Pleasure In Schools. Having three ideas for children's books that are only scribbles in notebooks at the moment, I found this very helpful. There were lots of books for sale and literary gifts to buy. This is the pile I brought back from London with me. (Note to self; they were heavy - take a shopping trolley next year!

Sunday, 2 March 2014. Light Night at Nottingham Castle. Nottingham Light Night took place on Friday 28th February.

http://fontsandfiction.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html

Monday, 19 May 2014. Message From A Blue Jay written by Faye Rapoport DesPres. Is the author of the new memoir in essays titled Message from a Blue Jay. What made you choose the title of your book? Can you condense your book into a short paragraph for us? What phrase in your book are you most proud of? There are a few, but the first one that comes to mind is this one, although it is more effective and makes more sense in context: “How I crave a sip of my own gentleness.”. When and where do you write?
