Contracts, hardcovers, reissues, trips to France, positive reviews, and award nominations are AWESOME, but the real work is done alone on the sofa, at the kitchen table, and in tiny motel rooms. The real work is insecurity and sacrifice, and it’s the thing that matters most.

Brian Wilson's intended musical contribution to the JB title-music canon may have been rejected in 1967 but I'll always be grateful that his music still exists within the series, albeit in a sanitised version of his classic. Thinking of you Brian - MM #JamesBond #BrianWilson

Brian Wilson was a musical and spiritual giant. His melodies shaped generations, & his soul resonated in every note. I was fortunate to know him; we all were blessed by his genius. Rest peacefully, Brian. #BrianWilson #TheBeachBoys #MickyDolenz #Music

Today, in year four of Russia’s full-scale war, our military has recorded over one million Russian casualties — killed and wounded. That’s the price Putin is willing to pay for his sick geopolitical fantasies. And still, he refuses to end this war.

Casanova Variations got some iffy reviews. But hey, sue me, I really liked it. The self-reverential Malkovich act seems better played here and woven into the story more than the rather hamfisted Being John Malkovich. If you have trouble finding the film, it's free to view on Plex

I love this scene. The film gets a lot of flak, some of it deserved. But Grace Jones packs a punch here. She goes from determination to depression to that final look of realisation - 'Get Zorin for me'

Happy Father's Day I was fortunate enough to have the kindest, gentlest and most loving Dad in the world. He was also a tremendous autodidact who introduced me to the world of books.

I had the most glorious book signing Write Blend for my #TheMissingWife book. Alas, I would definitely choose Byron over Shelley - every single time. Thanks to Zoë Richards | Author & Writing Coach for the chat, Bob Stone for the venue, Steven Powell for the support!
