Sentence of the day
I would say the couch’s innocence has been taken if nothing else.
That is from Josh the a screenwriter at I Find Your Lack of Faith Disturbing. The whole thing is here – it is a very long post but is very, very funny.
thanks for the comment on Crime Watch Stephen. In one of those bizarre coincidences, a couple of days before your note about Mark Richards and Morgan Jones, I'd bought a handful of random, out-of-print Kiwi crime, thriller and mystery titles from a second-hand store in Auckland.
Looking through the pile later in the week, I realised why the Mark Richards name sounded familiar even though I had yet to mention him on Crime Watch - one of the books I'd picked up was AS THROUGH A GLASS - which is some of his detective novellas...
Thanks for the heads-up - I'm going to boost Richards' work up my towering TBR pile now...
I don't know "As Through a Glass" - thanks for the tip. I have "The Nocturnal Cyclist" which Steele Roberts published in 2002. Old-fashioned stories in many ways but I liked them.
Stranger than fiction. I'll have to add him to my blog list
