“Golden Sky” — Available Now
Rambling musings and other balderdash Vol.2
I am very pleased and very proud to announce that my second volume of three rambling musings are now available on all Amazon platforms (E-Book, Paperback and Hardback) and should you have an Amazon Kindle “Unlimited” package this book, together with my other 13 to date, are all free to read.
This collection of writing covers a three year period (2021–2024) with the latest pieces published up to mid-March 2024 as well as extracts from my earliest published long form writing circa 2012. The 360+ page book comes, as all good rambling stories should, in 3 Acts:
“Saturday Night at the Movies” — Spoiler free film reviews old and very recent, including 2024 Oscars winners and losers as well as an occasional deep dive into a classic collection of film reviews originally penned over a decade ago.
“Sunday Morning on Reverie Lane” — Whereas volume one covered an ode to my dear old Dad here I shine a light on the grand old lady who adored him and who I desperately miss.
“Friday Afternoon in The Matrix” — A wild ride through the madness and madhouse of the internet Matrix!
Here’s the blurb on the reverse cover:
“Rambling musing nincompoop (with trademarked upside down smile) in my spiritual home of Ironbridge, 2024”
“The smells of the day before were now replaced with the staple of the Sunday “roast” dinner under the care and attention of my Mum whilst the sounds were of her musical favourites, Plácido Domingo, José Carreras and the man who made her heart beat just that little bit faster, Luciano Pavarotti. More contemporary names would follow in the years to come but always, always of an operatic bent as the familial legend has it (and no doubt started by my dear old Mum!) that prior to meeting the man who would shape her life forever, she was training to be an opera singer. Now I’m all for printing the legend but let’s just say that Portsmouth, a seaside city separated only from France by the English Channel is the very last place you’d expect to find an aspiring opera singer, but my Mum, my incredible, somewhat taciturn misunderstood misanthrope with a heart of purest love, an opera singer?
“Welcome to Volume Two of “Rambling musings and other balderdash”.
I’ve left the timeline of the book deliberately scatter gun, I worship at the altar of Salvador Dali and Christopher Nolan after all.
