I wrote a post for Miss Demeanors on the short fiction of Daphne du Maurier--dark, twisted, and unforgettable. And Stephen King feels the same way :) www.missdemeanors.com/why-daphne-d...

Why Daphne du Maurier's Short Fiction Cuts Deep - Miss Demeanors

The new collection of short stories by Daphne du Maurier, with a Stephen King appreciation, displays her narrative power and ruthlessness toward characters

One of the reasons I'm less enthusiastic about Bluesky are the weird private messages from strangers I get here. "Hi. How are you today?" What about my profile says I'm easy to scam? Or is everyone getting them?

Ok I started this account about a year ago and haven't done much on it. Hoping with the influx of new people it will be more lively.

I wrote a Christmas Ghost Story! Yep, my novella "The Ghost of Madison Avenue" takes place in NYC in December 1912 with the main character, Helen O'Neill, seeing things at the Morgan Museum. :) It's like The Gilded Age meets A Night At the Museum www.amazon.com/Ghost-Madiso...

I visited the Mills Mansion at Staatsburgh in the Hudson Valley yesterday. An amazing 1890s display of Gilded Age wealth and American aristocracy pride (the wife was a Livingston).

I didn't agree with 'Wolf Hall's depiction of Thomas Cromwell as a humane kitten cuddler and really didn't care for depictions of Thomas More, Jane Rockford or Princess Mary, but, having said that, I'm glad that a third 'Wolf Hall' is coming. Very good actors, intelligent script.

I first saw this invitation a few years ago and have been meaning to plagiarise it for a party of my own ever since. Very game of Christopher’s parents to throw such a bacchanal in their own home

Agree! His scenes as Jerry Westerby in Tinker Tailor were wonderful. I also liked him in White Mischief. He was the Soviet ambassador in Hunt for Red October--basically he could do anything!
