Re: Upgrade Of Site?
Forgive me if I've said this before, but if a website is working well, and to the satisfaction of its users, why 'upgrade' it just for the sake of it? It is due to the modern philosophy that nothing must remain the same for too long, as it will be deemed to be 'old-fashioned' and 'non-progressive.' ...

Re: New Member Introduction
Hi Steve, I too have read all the series in order. I'd started off reading the black magic novels, then gradually progressed to the others. I never thought I'd be interested in Roger Brook, but after reading The Irish Witch, I tried another title - The Rape Of Venice, I think - then decided to read ...

Re: New Member Introduction
Welcome to the Library Steve, Sounds like we started reading DW at around the same time. I hope you might be interested in joining us for a Convention or a Field Trip at some stage. If you've read the complete works in the last two years you must now be an expert. And what a mammoth feat of enduranc...

Re: Churchill - Darkest Hour
Jean and I saw this film a few weeks ago, and both enjoyed it immensely. We both thought Gary Oldman splendid in the role. I couldn't remember seeing him in anything before, and when you see the actor in his natural state (I mean without make-up, NOT without clothes!) he looks nothing like Churchill...

Re: Anthony Lejeune
It should not be forgotten that in addition to preparing Drink And Ink, Anthony Lejeune also edited DW's final book, The Deception Planners: My Secret War.
He was also kind enough to send words of greeting and good wishes for our second DW Convention, and for another a few years later.

Stevie, re point 2): last time I read BFTUOAB, I sought out a copy of Star Raker on DW's recommendation. I found it an engaging novel (about the development of a new aircraft), and whilst it retained my interest to the end, I thought it hardly deserved the high praise which DW gave it. If you should...

Spotted it in the schedule, but missed most of it, so can't really pass judgement. Although I would say that it seemed an original idea for a drama. I wonder how many people these days have heard of Harry Price? Not many, probably. Did any particular aspect of it impress you Ken? Happy New Year to a...
