Colour blindness, Perception, and Prejudice
When I was young I wanted to be a pilot. I’ve blogged about my favourite book, The Last Enemy, by Richard Hillary. Hillary was a spitfire pilot in the Battle of Britain, and had joined the University Air Squadron at Oxford. When I went up to Oxford, I also tried to...
Mentions
Mentions are great! I recently posted about social media. I will work on Brian’s tips for boosting my social media following, but he also wants me to post every day. I’ve got a busy few days coming up, so I want to put another draft post in the bag. Claire and I were...

Audiobooks and ACX
I’ve just approved the 15 minute sample of the audiobook for The Spy who Sank the Armada. I hadn’t initially thought about audiobooks, but my friend John Holland has a bad eye and wanted to read my books. There must be millions of blind and partially sighted people...
Amazon Honeymoon
In my post on book reviews I mentioned the Amazon honeymoon period. I thought I’d do some more research to better understand what it is. Now searching for “Amazon honeymoon period” wasn’t as easy as I thought it might be. Due to the power of Amazon, what my search...
