Welcome

Welcome, finally, to my website. Here's info on me, my books and other writings, what I'm up to, and the inevitable deeply self-absorbed blog. Visit, graze, leave a comment, then go out into the sunshine and read.

Earthquake

|

People keep asking, but no, I didn't feel it.  It was only 5.1, about 200 miles away, and at 1 o'clock in the morning.  There's a major train line behind my house, so even if I had felt something, I would have just assumed it was that.

Besides, not to pull rank here, but I lived through at least five major earthquakes while living in Los Angeles, including the one that knocked down the 10 Freeway.  So, I'm not even sure I would have gotten out of bed for a 5.1.  I extend my sympathies to the man who lost his chimney in Lincolnshire, but, well, let's just say there are degrees of chimney loss and this was at the lower end of the scale.
