http://trailowner.blogspot.com/2012/01/sources-for-anywhere-and-nowhere.html
Tuesday, January 03, 2012. Sources for Anywhere and Nowhere. Discussion on finding research sources for military history, history of technology, castles, ruins, and ships. While the Internet has become a valuable research resource, there’s nothing like being there and touching the bones. 1 Living in the history. 2 Books and used bookstores. 4 Museums, Re-enactments and battlefields. 5 Techniques, sharing sites, and questions. 2 Books and used bookstores. What about non-warlike research?

Saturday, December 30, 2006. All Honourable Men: Eulogy for Saddam. Friends, Readers, citizens, lend me your ears;. I come to bury Saddam, not to praise him. The evil that men do lives after them,. The good is oft interred with their bones;. So let it be with Saddam. The noble Bush. Hath told you Saddam was dangerous;. If it were so, it was a grievous fault,. And grievously hath Saddam answer'd it. Here under tutelage and cooperation. Of CIA was a dictator set up and empower'd. If I were disposed to stir.

Trailowner: July 2006
http://trailowner.blogspot.com/2006_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 28, 2006. Summer is upon us and the highways are thick with traffic. Now, it is a matter of my observation that most people are incompetent some on occasion and some perpetually. No matter what the field of activity, some few individuals excel, a few more muddle along fairly well, and the great multitude should be kept out by walls, electric fences, and Dobermans. How can a poor body find safety amid such chaos? You don't have all the time in the world? Posted by Christopher Hoare @ 3:24 PM.

Trailowner: Plans for two novels
http://trailowner.blogspot.com/2013/11/plans-for-two-novels_7.html
Thursday, November 07, 2013. Plans for two novels. I currently have several novels that were started and not completed, or completed but are presently resting in limbo. One is my novel that was published as the fantasy "Rast" that I removed from a publisher where it was- -presumably- - invisible. It is worth reviving as a number of readers have raved over it, and the submissions editor at the publisher says, "it deserved better". Posted by Christopher Hoare @ 6:08 PM. Links to this post:.

Trailowner: June 2006
http://trailowner.blogspot.com/2006_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 18, 2006. From the Toronto Star, some signs of intelligence coming from the urban planners in Ontario. At long last a recognition that the suburban landscape with its dependence upon the automobile is detrimental to society and more importantly, demonstrating the will to change things. What on earth generates such slavish attachment to one and two hour commutes by car and the loss of weekend time to mowing a lawn? Grass should be only grown to feed something, not to waste water on, treat wit...

Trailowner: January 2007
http://trailowner.blogspot.com/2007_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 11, 2007. The US. System is Failing. I remember when Nixon resigned over the Watergate scandal, that Americans of all stripes congratulated themselves and declared, "the system works." Well, now it's the twenty-first century and quite apparent to the whole world that the system does not work. The system has failed twice in placing George W Bush in an absolute position where his stupidity cannot be controlled. The first was in electing him at all. Posted by Christopher Hoare @ 5:47 PM.

Trailowner: May 2006

Friday, May 19, 2006. Experience it. Remember it. Fix it into the way you live your life. You'll never become another one of ‘them', satisfied with nothing more than virtual reality on a glitzy toy. Be out front, as someone for others to follow. Posted by Christopher Hoare @ 10:13 AM. Links to this post. View my complete profile. Plans for two novels. A lot has happened since the last post here- -yeah. A lot has happened since the last post here- -yeah. Rast has been nominated for the Global e-Book Awar.

Trailowner: I don't really want to hide the review
http://trailowner.blogspot.com/2011/10/i-dont-really-want-to-hide-review.html
Monday, October 03, 2011. I don't really want to hide the review. I really need to post a new blog entry but as I say above . well, you know how it is. Someone says something good about you and you want to relish it. I have had some votes for making the Pythian, the mysterious oracle living under the palace of Rast, a more significant character next time. Perhaps even the narrator of the next story, which is a keen idea most likely to start me writing. Thanks Nancy (my editor). Links to this post:.

Trailowner: Steaming to Romance
http://trailowner.blogspot.com/2011/12/steaming-to-romance.html
Friday, December 23, 2011. Interrupting my posts of the Muse Conference workshop to let you know that the first two novellas of my Regency Romance Steampunk crossover were sent to the submissions team yesterday. Since my editor for "Rast", the fantasy novel published there last March, is one of the submissions editors I am hopeful they will find a place to fit them into the catalogue.

Trailowner: More Sources for Writers.
http://trailowner.blogspot.com/2011/12/more-sources-for-writers.html
Sunday, December 04, 2011. More Sources for Writers. Continuing the repost of a Workshop I gave at the Muse Online Writers’ Conference http:/ themuseonlinewritersconference.com/ this year I will post the rest of the first day’s workshop 1. Being There: Living in the History. (The first part is the next post below.). Now, is that writing what you know or knowing what you want to write? Well, I suspect you’re getting the point of the sermon, but what if you’ve not managed to do all that preparation?
