There’s an eight-hour time difference between London and British Columbia, and that makes it inconveniently difficult to pick up the phone and make a spontaneous call, in either direction, during business hours. With a little advance planning, though, it’s not impossible and I had a long conversation recently with a gentleman called Ed Wood, my…

That's not a silly question, nor is it an idle one. I have a splendid-looking review of the recent Brazilian edition of "The Forest Laird" which is called "O Rebelde" down there, and I'd love to have it translated into English, or at least condensed and translated, but I can't find anyone here in my…

I posted much of this earlier on the Jack Whyte Facebook Group page, and while I didn't intend to get into it there quite as deeply as I eventually did, once I started to roll with it, the piece kinda wrote itself and so I decided to cut and paste it into a Blog entry…

Just received an email from a good friend congratulating me on the new website and telling me he’s never seen anything that comes close to it in his Web travels. He was particularly impressed by the novelty and power of the introductory videos to the various books and the “Fireside Chat” intimacy they captured, but…

The more things change, the less anything changes… That’s an old saying that has been around for decades, but in recent times the Publishing industry has blown it out of the water… Almost nothing in today’s publishing industry is remotely comparable to what was known and normal fifteen years ago. The arrival of the Electronic…
