		<title>Broadening horizons</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve now ventured onto Facebook, Google+ and Twitter with the shameless motive of puffing A Time For Heroes. If anyone wants to join in as a friend (or even an enemy), all contributions gratefully received. Launches for Heroes are in planning for end-March early April at various locations: London, Tunbridge Wells, Rye, Sevenoaks, Tenterden. Anyone [...]]]></description>

		<title>It exists therefore I am (a novelist)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This photograph* showing smug author with a couple of book proofs of ‘A Time For Heroes’ will irritate a number of my readers who were promised copies. Unfortunately Headline could not provide as many as anticipated so my mailing list had to be pruned rather drastically. For which sincere apologies to those I had to [...]]]></description>

		<title>A novel by any name&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[High And Over, after a certain amount of back-and-forth between author and publisher, is now A Time For Heroes. A publication date has also been confirmed, for the hard cover: 29 March 2012, which means the paperback will be nicely timed for the summer holiday market. But naturally, loyal readers, don’t let that stop you [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sneak preview-latest</title>
		<description><![CDATA[High And Over, the just-completed novel, has received an enthusiastic response from Headline Review: ‘ very good, wonderful raw energy, vivid characters, great flying scenes, great sense of period, a terrific piece of storytelling.’ So far so encouraging, but there are some structural issues to work out and also they’re not so mad about the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With all 186,000 words of the new novel delivered to my publisher I’ve been considering a sneak preview by offering a chapter to those who check out my website; a single chapter that gives a taste of what’s to come, probably in Spring 2012.

I’d hardly opened the envelope than my wife rang from Tenterden to say she’d just spent £148 stocking up at Waitrose. The mag out now, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Novel insight</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Many people, it seems, think of writing a novel. But there’s thinking of it and doing it. Peter Cook met an acquaintance in Hampstead once. ‘ What are you up to these days?’ ‘ Writing a novel.’ ‘ Neither am I,’ said Cook. To put things in perspective, for anyone considering the task, this pile [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Two things worth reporting. Tony Calvey (see October) stunted his Stampe biplane over our house recently, concluding his display with an inverted pass. Unfortunately we did not have visitors at the time, which denied me the chance to remark nonchalantly: ‘ It’s one of my readers. Happens all the time.’ Soon I hope to take [...]]]></description>

Ray writes: Dear Frank, I was amused to see my photo&#8230;on your blog. For the ‘rivet counters’ among your fans the Shackleton in question is an MR2, WL795. The Shackleton [...]]]></description>

It was there that Ray was [...]]]></description>
