Weekly Blog - Monday 10th November
Justice For All attracted another glowing review on line this week, on www.bfkbooks.com. BFK Books (also known as the Book Fiends Kingdom) are a charitable organisation dedicated to raising funds and awareness for the care of adults with autism, a condition that impairs a person’s ability to understand and interpret the world around them. To this end, they publish book reviews and interviews with authors for the public’s reading pleasure, then ask that people make a £2 donation via the ‘Just Giving’ link on their website. I will shortly be completing an interview for the site, and should you wish to add your support to this worthy cause, please visit www.bfkbooks.com.
For those of you that have been reading this blog for a while, you may remember that I was interviewed by Radio Manx back in August. Radio Manx serve the Isle of Mann, and I’m pleased to report that I’ve managed to secure an audio copy of the interview for your listening pleasure. Please visit the publicity section of my website (www.stevenhague.com) if you want to hear what I sound like!
At the risk of sounding repetitive, work on The Beholder continued apace last week, with the total word count sailing through the 90,000 barrier. I’ve now made it to the grand finale of the book, where I get to kill people off and tie up all the loose ends, and I figure that it will take another 10,000 or so words to accomplish this, so my target is to finish the first draft of the novel by the end of November.
On the music front, I saw Funeral For A Friend (FFAF) at the Waterfront Dance Club last week, and this was hands down the best gig I’ve been to in Norwich all year. Support came from Attack Attack (Wales answer to Fall Out Boy), In Case of Fire (who sound like The Mars Volta with added melody and a lot less Spanish), and Canadian punk-metallers Cancer Bats, who were all uniformly excellent. This was the first time that I’ve seen Funeral in an intimate venue (having caught them on the main stage at Reading two or three times) and it was a rare treat, as their melodic hard rock filled the space and pummelled the senses. Next up for me is The Automatic on Monday night, and if they’re halfway as good as Funeral I’ll be happy!
Cheers,
Steve
