Thanks for continued inspiration DG!

Hey FWR, are all three of the topics going to be in ONE novel? Wow, that requires a lot more imagination than I have. I am in AWE. with your publishing endeavours.
nice!
FWR Posted Jan 6, 2014
due to the adult content dont think it would be a suitable topic mate! lol
nice!

Aha! Adult content, eh? I'm impressed - and intrigued.
You Do know the Guide has an entry about '50 Shades of Grey', or whatever it is? Maybe we could get Solnushka to review yours...
nice!

I'm impressed, too Freewayriding. I'd be glad to hear more about your book.
But I'm not sure the role of the historian is uncontroversial. The Guardian yesterday had an article about criticism by Michael Gove, Education Secretary, who thinks history should be patriotic,of the TV comedy series 'Blackadder Goes Forth,'which depicts the shambles of the First World War. http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/jan/06/blackadder-michael-gove-historians-first-world-war
Incidentally,for a comedy, Blackadder Goes Forth has a stunning, poignant final scene. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vH3-Gt7mgyM
