🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I received a complimentary ARC copy of Ghosts of Gotham by Craig Schaefer from NetGalley and 47North in order to read and give an honest review.

I’m a Craig Schaefer virgin so to speak.  I have had quite a few people recommend his work to me but I’ve always seemed to have let it slip by.  This time when given the chance to read and review Ghosts of Gotham I finally seized the opportunity, and wow, I am so glad I did! It’s so unique, is a bit of everything…urban fantasy mixed with mythology, bibliomystery and so much action making this such a fun page-turner. 

Our main character, Lionel Page is an investigative journalist who has made it his mission to debunk anything that is considered “Supernatural”. When another up and coming journalist finds out…

In the
concrete jungle

Where
sky scrapers block the sun

Where
blue skies are but patches

In a
world of grey stone

My soul
thirsts and hungers

For
green trees and birdsong

For
running waters

That
flow over rocks and stones

Here in
this city

I feel
small and alone

Memory
brings me back

To
oceans deep and wild

To the
towering mountains

And emerald
valleys lush and kind

Soon, I
whisper

Soon I
will be there

Where
rivers rush to meet their mother

And
waves crash on the shore

Soon, I
promise myself

Envisioning
sand between my toes

Where no
cement unbending

Cause my
soles to hurt

My soul
too, hurts

But soon
this will be

Just
another memory

Of my
travels through this life

Soon

Our wedding cake

Blue on blue, their skin.
Consumed by cold, endless stairs.
Dying on the pass.

#NaPoWriMo – Day 8, 2019

When I hit a bit of a reading slump lately I started watching tv more. I have so many programmes that I want to watch. This would be a really long post if I talked about all the programmes I love and the ones I’m currently watching (just finished Santa Clarita Diet). 

I’m taking holidays owed from work this week and I’m taking a little bit of a break from writing blog posts, I’ve had them all scheduled, so I’m going to concentrate on my writing and reading and TV. So I thought why not write a holiday post all about tv?

(oh, I’m going to a book fare this week so…. I wonder how many books I’ll come back with 🙂 Future blog post) 

I’ve been rewatching Angel recently. I watched it when it was first broadcast and bought it on tape but didn’t think I’d seen them all…

On our allotment
In the sun
Shadows caught
Whilst having fun
Strimming grass
We laugh and smile
Whilst planting stuff
For quite a while
For this is ours
This little plot
Where we will plant
And grow a lot

I dreamt I was waltzing under the shade of a great tree
unafraid as a ghost passed through the garden gate
I caught our reflection, his and mine
in a billabong swollen from the night’s rain
He was more alive than I could ever be
