Day out in Winchester

As writers we’re constantly told to seek out places for inspiration and for God’s sake don’t forget your notebook and a camera. So I went to Winchester, with camera. Forgot the notebook though … 🙁

Iain Banks

Very sad to hear that my all-time favourite author has terminal cancer. He posted the news on his website, saying that he probably has about a year to live.

There are only a handful of books I’ve read more than once; he’s written all of them.
