Saying that. I seem to choose most of my new books browsing Amazon. There should be more shop windows for writers. <br /><br />I am not particularly interested in wine Ben, but I find your 'refreshing' (sorry for that pun!) anecdotes and blog posts and light-hearted approach (you don't rant like me) very entertaining and informative. Are you working on any other books Ben?northsider https://www.blogger.com/profile/00716743611909673869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2569256104345228771.post-15468284228529267012012-02-25T09:40:58.881+00:002012-02-25T09:40:58.881+00:00I suspect that getting reviewed in the Sundays req...I suspect that getting reviewed in the Sundays requires either a pushy publisher or a pushy agent and neither of us have either. I don't actually think it has anything to do with Oxbridge connections - though any connection would not hurt.<br /><br />There did, indeed, used to be vinyards in Northumberland - in the thirteenth century, before the mini-Ice Age struck.<br /><br />I'm still waiting for our Good Life Press blogs to come back on-line. It is frustrating that this other blog doesn't work, because I used that for 'whatever I happen to be thinking about' postings rather than 'what I did today when I drank this bottle of wine' positing.Ben Hardyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05236432903658898557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2569256104345228771.post-69759135482219468682012-02-24T16:12:55.459+00:002012-02-24T16:12:55.459+00:00Indeed it is a great review Ben.

I read your book and really enjoyed it, especially the great anecdotes. <br /><br />How do us 'authors' get our books reviewed in the posh Sunday newspapers? I think they only like authors who have been to Oxford or published by somebody who went there? <br /><br />Didn't you say one that there use to be Vineyards in Northumberland Ben?northsider https://www.blogger.com/profile/00716743611909673869noreply@blogger.com
