What a special week it was this week Maggie, talking to Terence Frisby about his book 'Kisses on a Postcard' and the forthcoming musical based on this. What a lovely man! I bet he was a cheeky, angelic looking boy! The interview will be aired in a week or two, don't miss it and in the meantime look up his site which is: www.kissesonapostcard.com

Maggie, Tom Rob Smith's book - Tom has worked as a screenwriter for the past five years, including a six-month stint in Phnom Penh storylining Cambodia's first ever soap. . That’s interesting Maggie – you could get in touch and work along with him, join the 2 soaps together Scilly Penh!

Alexander Kent, oh dear Brian not got good reviews and sounds like you agree with them!

As for Tess Gerritsens book - Well less than halfway through this book and I was thinking 'am I reading a crime thriller or a Mills & Boon!?’. But I had an interesting response from the author about this review; "It actually is an old Mills and Boon Book, re-released years after Gerritsen became successful with her later medical thrillers.

So, upshot is if you want a thriller read books published after 1997!
