3. What is you favourite book or book series?
At the moment it's
http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/c/francis-cottam/shadow-on-sun.htm

I'm just finished reading this, the second in a series (will there be more? ) of two so far.

Quote
4. What are you currently reading?
As I just said, "A Shadow On The Sun".
Francis is a  lad I went to school with throughout my childhood. First at St Teresa's then Our Lady Of Lourdes and finally Christ The King. He always swore he's be an author, went off to work as a journalist to pay his way and eventually made it. This is his fourth book and I made a point of reading them all in chronological order

Glad to see you made it Francis. Going to have a look for the new one under your pseudonym (F G Cottam) later today gif


Another author I love (who's got new stuff out that I've not read) is Matt Haig. Google him  gif
