Hehe how old are you?
I only started running in my 40s (I'm 49), and never did more than 5k. It's for fitness and health only, but I like to track my times.

Your run location sounds fab!! Funnily enough, I always thought you were Brit

You are not!!! I assumed you were about 10 years younger.

Howdy, everyone. It’s been a long three months, but I’m finally past many things sad and wonderful. Ready for a wee bit of normal. Send me down a cider, barkeep.

Welcome back!

I've just finished Supremacy's Bounty by some fellow called Bakutis. Awful, absolutely awful book that was no fun at all.  In fact, it's so awful you should all read it when it comes out to find out just how awful!!!

(It's actually really, really good)

From what I gather, there were many horrid allegations from seemingly different 'people'...seperate accounts that had been set up for a year or more with this specific purpose in mind, all with backstories and web footprints and whatnot to make them seem genuine. A lot of work went into this plan to slander him.

And yeah, people know who did it, but Ed is not mentioning it for various legal reasons I imagine.

Yeah it's absolutely awful, and I can't imagine the over-stressed state of his nerves right now.

Writers' Corner / Re: Medieval history books

« on: March 21, 2019, 08:21:25 AM »

It's such a wide subject, but I found The Time Traveller's Guide to Medieval England: A Handbook for Visitors to the Fourteenth Century was a quick, fun read that nevertheless immersed me into medieval society and gave a good feel of the time period.

Writers' Corner / Re: Do you see Urban Fantasy as more than Werewolves and Vampires?

« on: March 13, 2019, 08:57:47 AM »

Same here, in my mind there are two separate channels of urban fantasy: the paranormal romance style (On the whole, easily spotted from the covers) and the likes of Dresden Files, Alex Verus, The Laundry Files, Felix Castor, Rivers of London etc
