I loved the redwall series as a kid, and wilbur smiths books (I started reading them aged 10, and though they have adult bits, I was a bit of an advanced reader for my age!)

I think I may have to read your book, up with some of my fave authors of late up there :)

My favourite book is River God by Wilbur Smith, I think the writing and story are equally awesome :)

I kind of don't get it.... I could write a lot of words in a day, but it would probably be utter tosh.

How many is a billion? - Oxford Dictionaries Online In British English, a billion used to be equivalent to a million million (i.e. 1,000,000,000,000), while in American English it has always equated to a thousand million (i.e. 1,000,000,000). British English has now adopted the American figure...

I have no idea of the legal issues involved, and film may be different than books, but when you look at films like 'Ozombie' (about osama bin laden being a zombie), The Abraham Lincoln vampire killer, the one about JFK and numerous other films portraying famous but dead people surely if they can...

It sucks when you have a friend recommend a book they love and think you will like, and when you get round to it it's not nearly as good as expected. Had 'The Magicians Guild' by Trudi Canavan recommended, but honestly thought the writing wasn't great and the story dragged a bit. Now to...

Monica is a cleaning obsessed control freak in the show friends, Donald duck is obviously pretty grouchy, and so is rabbit from winnie the pooh! I think its a wee bit offensive :O

I also do the emailing route after every major addition/edit. I don't trust my computers in the slightest!

My partner rarely ever reads, and if he does it's non-fiction. He doesn't enjoy the fantasy genre in the slightest. He is baffled by the fact I devour books in single sittings, and often up to 3 or 4 a week. As long as I still have time for hom and to get our work done etc he doesn't really...

Google for me!

I know a few people who are sticklers for sticking to their native version of the words. :O Writing a book about Murcans would make me think about merkins... and that would bring some rather, uhn, interesting visions.
