    • A superbly gifted wordsmith

      Walter Mosley

      Brings an awareness of social conscious within his gritty, cool, noiresque novels by virtue of his definitive, flawed yet moralistic character, Easy Rawlins. He is in my eyes a modern day literary icon, both in his analysis of today's interracial 'topography' and his effortless storytelling. Simply, a superbly gifted wordsmith.

    • Simply a divine city

      Santiago de Compostela

      Exquisite World Heritage listed capital of the verdent NW region of Galicia (northern Spain). Sublime Romanesque, Renaissance, Baroque sandstone/granite architecture; cobblestone vistas and sidestreets. Beautifully appointed tavernas, modern boutiques, and plazas...et al, juxtapose a myriad of generational architectural styles. Simply a divine city...and, oh, coincidentally, my birthplace; here's to wearing the proverbial heart on my sleeve!

    • Quality reading material

      Serpent's Tail

      17 January 2008

      Established for over twenty years, this independent British publishing house has, with its distinctive logo, provided the discerning reader with a plethora of outstanding writers in every genre from Crime/Thriller, Non-fiction, Topical, etc; all naturally encompassing elements of mystery, sensuality, and intimacy. Such sensual and distinctive cover art has, over the years, added to the alluring appeal of these varied literary editions. Regarding the Serpent's logo; it quintessentially represents according to the official website: "The two fundamental attributes of time – imminent annihilation and rising hope, which follow each other over and over again in an infinite cycle: time represented as a serpent swallowing its tail" - What can one say - a serpent; combining the age-old attributes of mystery, sensuality, and intimacy, manifested in such quality reading material.
