Mornington Crescent, anyone?

Got something to say, but it's not classic related? Here's the place to discuss. Also includes the once ever-so-popular word association thread... (although we've had to start from scratch with it - sorry!)

I'm sure I have read one of his books but can't remember anything about it.
He could be worse, Stephen King has only ever written one story, he just changes the characters and prints it again year after year. It doesn't stop me buying every book.

Yeah, but Stephen King is genuinely immortal, which is kind of a big deal. :o


Anyway, back to what I was about to ask; are you a writer of articles for a variety of well-known classic motoring publications?

Is this being an author lark your actual main claim to fame, as in writing real books? (as opposed to journalism type writing)


and best just to check, your not a poet are you?

I am not a poet and my claim to fame is being an author. I have had some stories published in magazines but my main claim to fame is writing books.

I suspect everyone on this forum has read one of my books or at least seen the TV series based on them.

I believe that amongst the collection of titles I wrote there may have possibly been a series about a bear.
