Me, Myself and You

Well it's Friday the 23rd of February, and I've held off long enough from having my own blog, everyone i know has one, so i felt it was only fair that i had one too.

Welcome to my little corner of the Internet where I hang out sometimes and post some mindless bollocks! - Just like this post really.

Hobbies, hmm, thats easy i guess.

Reading. I read mostly fantasy, and Historical Fiction, with some thrillers thrown in for good measure. as to favourite Authors, well Simon and Alex Scarrow figure very highly up there on the list, the late great David Gemmell (I credit him for getting me into reading in the first place!) Early stuff from David Eddings, Conn Iggulden, and others to numerous to name.

I have the singular pleasure to know Alex and Simon Scarrow, as we all live in the same city, I started as a fanboy i guess, but it's developed from there into a friendship.
Reading Simons books has also instilled an interest in ancient history, especially roman history, I dont get the time to read a huge amount on it, but it's there!

As to their books, simple words really READ THEM!

Simons Eagles are superb, think sharpe set in the roman legions, but funnier, more gripping and bloody good!

Alex has to date 1 published title, a superb thriller called A Thousand Suns, check it out it's very good and from what i've managed to gleen his next novel called LastLight is just as good and not a little scary!

Right Other hobbies!

Motorsport, anything with an engine really, i'm not a grease monkey, dont know a bloody thing about engines, but i love good racing, bikes, open wheelers, touring cars.

I try to get to as many of the British Touring Car rounds as i can over the season, (should get to 5 this year, woohoo!)
