current reading People of the Book by Zachary Karabell

I'm also enjoying re-reading Hiawatha by Longfellow - a bit of background for a novel I've been working on. Latest discovery on the web is Questia.com a wonderful academic online library.

Also starting to plan my course on 'Travel and Creative Writing' which will run in York from 17th April (if you'd like to come contact the WEA, York branch)

Wednesday 7th February

Apologies for the huge blogging gap...

First there was the mammoth trip across the U.S researching utopian/paradise communities, then family Christmas. Hopefully a short film of the trip will be available soon on the web - of the road trip not the Christmas - just needs editing. Places we visited included Walden Pond, Oneida, Zanesville (Blue Horizon earth ship and Longtimeago Farm), New Harmony, St Louis, Las Vegas, Death Valley, Yosemite and San Francisco. More to follow on this...

current reading: Stanley: the impossible life of Africa’s greatest explorer by Tim Jeal.
