..... the description of Grove Place in the Roger Brook stories. (I'd have to refresh my memory on the latter, it's a very long time since I read whichever book it's in....and was it called Grove House in the book?) The most detailed description of Grove Place comes in the first volume, The Launchi...

Steve, it's not at all a rude question. As a matter of fact though, I don't know the answer for sure!! I never gave any thought to the pronunciation when minting the name for myself some years ago. Most natural seems to be sigh-BAY-tuh, which is what my wife has always used. SIGH-buh-tuh and SIGH-bu...

I fear I can't rate The Satanist very highly; certainly not by comparison with The Devil Rides Out or Strange Conflict . The trouble is, there are at least two major implausibilities. Firstly: would a recruiter for the Left Hand Brotherhood really have done as Ratnadatta does, almost casually allowi...

Whoooh! That was a mighty effort, Stevie P. We all owe you our thanks. To answer Jim's question first: I believe this and Gunmen Gallants and Ghosts were the only two books that DW revised once they'd been published for the first time. Except possibly for Stranger Than Fiction - I've an idea some bi...

Allow me to recommend My Bones And My Flute , by Edgar Mittelholtzer, published around 1955 and in consequence probably a bit hard to find now. The author had a suitably exotic background, being born and raised in British Guiana and later living for a time in Barbados, where he was to set several of...

About the TV confrontation between DW and Alex Sanders. This was in 1969-70 (can't be any more precise), and occurred on the Simon Dee Show - an early-evening chat 'n' music show that went out around 6.30pm on Saturdays. Simon Dee was a former pirate DJ who went legit after 1967 and had a series of ...
