So, finally, The Interloper is out with revised text and cover. I like the cover. It’s much brighter. I think the text is smoother too, so it’s worth a look; and remember, downloads of The Interloper are free from Lulu.com. Love the new website too, so things are quite positive at the moment. Also UCMK, the university project I’ve lobbied for and still do when appropriate, has moved to the next stage of bidding for the new build and that’s great news. Considerable competition, so well done, everyone.
I also write commentary on the political and financial situation and was recently reading a piece by Edmund Conway, who was saying when are we going to get a good play or programme about the ongoing recession, or the great panic, as some financial commentators call it. I’m not sure I would. I was going to blog on his site, but it’s not working at present.
I find it very interesting to be writing romantic, historical drama one minute and financial or political commentary the next. It takes a lot of concentration; or lobbying for huge projects. I personally think that high finance is drama because it really affects peoples’ lives; and if you want to see what my commentary is like, you can look on google where it’s got lots of references under my name, or look on 123people.co.uk. Julia, the next book, proceeds apace. That should be ready next month. After that, another historical, an article for a Royal Society and maybe the start of an autobiography. Now that would be interesting for me. Been urged to write one and may very well do it. http://margaretbowker.yolasite.com
