Great Value
Pulled right up to the front and took advantage of their valet parking for $45 paid on checkout... very convenient. Lobby was under construction but staff was friendly. Room was small but very comfortable... big tv, nice bathroom. Great value.
Great seafood restaraunt near on Columbus Ave: Ocean Grill... yum.
Business travel
Only downside to 5 day stay was spotty internet service on upper floors 5-6. Required use of of cusomer lounge area on 1st floor to get quality internet connection. May not be an issue for leisure for but a pain business travel.
Buy a weekly Metro pass if you're in the area for ANY length of time. Less costly than 2 cab rides.
It was good
It was an amazing experience
I will definitely recommend it to people because it was worth it
good upper west side life
A pleasant site, friendly, expensive (like anyplace in the city), comfortable.
Good value in NYC
The hotel was OK. Most outstanding thing was the room. Staff very heplful.
Convenient , simple , right near friends.
It was busy when I got there and my room wasn't ready when I arrived even though it was after 3 PM. They held my suitcase and called me after about an hour, luckily I was visiting a friend one block away. It was a typical modern NY hotel room ,
small but very adequate. The only issue I had was the shower was hard to control and the hot water was very difficult to coax out of the thing, it wasted too much water trying to get the water hot. I wish I knew about the fitness room in advance and the guest courtesy room was a little odd. This was a converted SRO building and the hallways are a little odd , as well.
Just go directly to the diner on 75st instead of having room service because that is where they get the food for room service .
Would not recommend
Welcome to the 1980s!
If you book through a travel web site like this one, beware. This hotel lost my reservation even after I gave them the reservation number. After a 15 minute wait, I was downgraded to a dusty room in front of the elevators and told it was travel
website's fault because the hotel did not get the fax. The FAX? This hotel is still stuck in the 1980s and should look into something called the Internet. Besides the hassles at check in and room downgrade, walking through the lobby is like walking through a construction site with unfinished walls and floors. I will not stay here again.
Great hotel for the price and location!
The hotel is remodeling the lobby and it´s kind of a mess in the entrance but who cares. The rooms are very clean with a modern look inside and have everything you need. The room service is good. The location is great. 2 blocks from the subway 1
that goes to Times Square in 5 min. and 3 blocks from Central Park. The area is very safe and nice to walk day and night. I think is a perfect place to have a good time in NYC for a reasonable price. My only complaint is that it didn´t have bkfst service. However, you´ll find a great dinner that serves awesome bkfst for good prices, only a block and a half on Broadway and 79th right across the Apthorp Apartments.

a comfortable upper west side hotel
The only down side: construction in the lobby. But you couldn't hear it upstairs.
Nice place to stay in New York City
We only stayed for one night because our hotel for Saturday and Sunday did not have availability on Friday. It was really nice. The room was small but the newly renovated bathroom was really nice. The lobby is still under construction but it did
not interfere with having a great stay.
There's parking on 74th street that you can leave your car from the night before until 3 or 4 in the afternoon and it was $40. I think that worked better than using valet because we didn't worry about if we got back late.

Updated March 17
1. Buccaneers – Jameis Winston – QB – Florida State – Scouting Report
Winston is the more talented prospect than Mariota, and so far interview process seems to be going extremely well. The combine was a big step forward for him in solidifying his position at the top of this class and as long as pre-draft visits go well he should be the heavy favorite to go No. 1.
2. Titans – Leonard Williams – DE – USC – Scouting Report
The addition of Brian Orakpo lessens the need for a pass-rusher, which means this pick probably comes down to Mariota or Williams. Since Mariota isn't an elite can't-miss prospect, I believe Whisenhunt will push for the Titans to stick with Mettenberger for at least one more year.
3. Jaguars – Shane Ray – DE/LB – Missouri – Scouting Report
The Jaguars can't afford to let this draft go by without adding an impact pass-rusher. Ray is an impressive athlete with some versatility which should intrigue the Jaguars. He should be used as a situational pass-rusher immediately, and could also be a candidate to play strong-side linebacker in Gus Bradley's defense.
4. Raiders – Kevin White – WR – West Virginia – Scouting Report
White won the combine, so he's locked in for the Raiders, right? Mark Davis has continued his father's drafting tradition, so it's safe to assume White and Amari Cooper are both high on their board. Despite the hint of sarcasm, it's a fairly safe pick and fills a need.
5. Redskins – Randy Gregory – DE – Nebraska – Scouting Report
If anyone wants to move up for Mariota, this is where it happens. The Redskins need to stockpile picks and don't have anyone they obviously need to target here. With Brian Orakpo gone, the Redskins should target a pass-rusher here. Gregory is a little raw, but has as much potential as a pass-rusher as anyone in this class.
6. Jets – Marcus Mariota – QB – Oregon – Scouting Report
This is the worst-case scenario for Mariota—and I'm not referring to him falling to No. 6, I'm referring to the team. He'll struggle in New York if he's thrown into the same dysfunctional situation that destroyed Geno Smith. If the Jets go this direction, hopefully they have a plan for 2015 that doesn't involve Mariota being thrown into the fire.
7. Bears - Danny Shelton – DT – Washington – Scouting Report
The Bears are shifting to a 3-4 defense, but don't have the personnel for it at this moment. This may be a reach for Shelton, who was a one-year wonder at Washington, but he's arguably the top nose tackle in this class and would step into an immediate starting role for the Bears.
8. Falcons – Dante Fowler Jr. – DE/LB – Florida – Scouting Report
The Falcons have no one to build around on defense, so this should be a very defense-heavy draft for them. Fowler doesn't really stand out in any one area, but he has the potential to be a solid three-down lineman and should start immediately in Atlanta.
9. Giants – Brandon Scherff – OL – Iowa – Scouting Report
The Giants interior offensive line was a trainwreck a season ago, and some reshuffling is likely in 2015. Scherff is a similar player to Justin Pugh, as either could play right tackle or shift inside to guard. The flexibility with both could be intriguing to the Giants as they try to upgrade Manning's protection.
10. Rams – Amari Cooper – WR – Alabama – Scouting Report
If tough for me to drop Cooper to No. 10, but if he and White don't come off the board within the first five picks I don't see another obvious landing spot. The Rams would likely scoop up either prospect if they fell, and may even settle for Parker if both are gone.
11. Vikings – Trae Waynes – CB – Michigan State
The more I think about how Spielman and Zimmer will approach this draft, the more I can't envision them passing on Waynes. They failed to address the cornerback position in last year's draft and will likely spend a high pick on the position this time around. Waynes makes perfect sense here.
12. Browns – DeVante Parker – WR – Louisville – Scouting Report
The Browns simply can't afford to pass on Parker if he falls here. He has all the tools to fill the Josh Gordon role in their offense as a receiver who can stretch the field with speed but also compete for 50/50 balls. He plays like a lesser version of Randy Moss and should be an impact player immediately.
13. Saints – Vic Beasley – LB – Clemson – Scouting Report
Just plug in one of the top defenders here. Beasley may have some limitations against the run at the next level but he will be an instant-impact pass-rusher. A pass-rusher with his explosive ability has too much value, even as a situational player, to fall much further than this.
14. Dolphins – Jaelen Strong – WR – Arizona State – Scouting Report
The Dolphins are a tough team to predict due to limited options at their most glaring positions of need. If Trae Waynes is on the board, they'll take him, but may not reach for another corner. With Strong and Stills on the outside and Landry in the slot, Tannehill would have some nice weapons.
15. 49ers – Andrus Peat – OL – Stanford – Scouting Report
The 49ers are set at tackle, but have a glaring hole at left guard due to the departure of Mike Iupati. There isn't a true guard deserving of this selection, but a number of the tackles on the board have the tools to make the transition. Peat also gives them some insurance behind Anthony Davis who battled multiple injuries last year.
16. Texans – Bud Dupree – DE – Kentucky – Scouting Report
Whitney Mercilus is in the final year of his contract and has been a disappointment during his time in Houston. Dupree needs time to develop as a pass-rusher, but would be in an ideal situation in Houston where he, ideally, sits for a year behind Mercilus and Jadeveon Clowney.

seeds are in 2009!
Just returned from K-mart in New Hartford (Utica area). They had 2 kiosks for "Martha Stewart" and "The Cooks Garden" seeds. I bought a few things on my want list including Long Island Cheese Pumpkin.
Please your your reports of seed sightings
The Christmas Tree Shop in the Mattydale Plaza has seeds. WATCH the PRICES!!! They have signs prominently displayed that the seeds are half off. However, it's half off the manufacturers price, not the sticker price. So their Italian seeds have a sticker on them with the price already half off. I didn't realize this and found out the hard way.
I just got most of mine from Lowes and Home Depot.
The workers thought I was a little strange to be picking over the seeds so early in teh season.lol.but I know better. By April-May, all the good stuff will be gone.
Now is definitely the time to buy seeds..
Still a few varieties Im looking for that HD and Lowes didnt have. I'll check a few other stores before I catalog order.
Also, anyone know a place that sells sweet potato slips locally? (central NY, Syracuse, etc..) Looking for a short season bush variety. Theyre fairly expensive from the seed catalogs.

Recent South Iceland Reviews
Cozy and convenient place to explore South Iceland
We stayed at the farm house in October and thoroughly enjoyed it. Since it's an old farm house it is cozy inside and it has all the amenities you need. The owners have recently updated the bathroom and the kitchen, living room and bedrooms were all very clean and tidy. The setting is beautiful, with views to the north of Eyjafjallajokull and several horse farms nearby, and it is an easy drive to get to Skogafoss and good hiking areas. Sveinbjorn was very responsive and professional to deal with and we recommend this place to anyone with an interest in spending time in the south.
Beautiful Summer house in a perfect location.
We had a fantastic week at this lovely summer house not far from Selfoss. The cabin was excellent with a homely feel and good amenities. The setting is ideal in a quiet side road with great views from the large terrace at the front of the property. This looks out over the valley from which we could watch the local wildlife. Everything in the house was clean and tidy and as described in the details with comfy beds and sofas, plus an excellent kitchen. Sandra the owner was great, she answered all our questions leading up to our visit, and while we were there, she could not have been more helpful. The location is central to the main attractions in the South of Iceland, and only about 15 min drive from Selfoss with its shops and services, and the junction with Route 1, the main road around the island. There are excellent fish restaurants about 25 minutes away at Eyrarbakki and Stokkseyri on the coast, which we would highly recommend. In fact we ate out most of the time and had good food wherever we went. The fish and local lamb were the highlights. I would recommend this cabin to anybody looking for a comfortable house central location. We had a great time and are looking forward to our next visit. Pete & Maggie Jackman

Kevin Harvick Wins Coors Light Pole Award for Tonight's Virginia 529 College Savings 250

Netgear 3700v4
1 recommendation
I have mentioned several times before that the WNDR3400 has the problem. (I had what I guess is the WNDR3400V1, as it is not a V2, but I believe they both have the problem.
I'm back on the "two day cycle" again.In just this thread, these Netgear models have been listed as losing IPv6 every few days...WNR1000v2-VCWNDR3400WNDR3700v3WNDR3700v4WNDR4500v1R6200R6300 v1
Please add the Netgear WNR3500L and WNR3500LV2 to your IPV6 drop list as well.Thanks
I am running the latest firmware and have Comcast as a provider and my IPV6 address drops every few days on my Netgear WNR3500Lv2
While you have Netgear's ear, it would be great if you could convince them to make the IPv6 information a first-class citizen on their displays. All the main status screens only show IPv4 information. (Leases, dns servers, uptime etc). Especially with the PD drop issue, it would be great to have the IPv6 info easily accessible. Having this info hidden also explains how Netgear never noticed the problem -- they don't use or test IPv6 very much.
My R7000 Nighthawks firmware is V184.108.40.206_1.0.15 which is the latest and still has the IPV6 issues.

The buzz of your smartphone, the beep of your Outlook folder, the new bold line at the top of your screen: the sights and sounds of email addiction are all around us.
While some of those messages may be important to your job, the reality is that compulsively checking your email can actually be bad for your health. In a study conducted at the University of California at Irvine last spring, researchers found that removing email from participants' lives for a period of five days resulted in more natural, variable heart rates than the heart rates of those who were still regularly checking and sending emails.
"We found that when you remove email from workers' lives, they multitask less and experience less stress," Gloria Mark, UCI informatics professor and co-author of the study, said. "Email vacations on the job may be a good idea."
While everyone in the meetings industry wants to maximize productivity, it looks like email may actually cause more distractions than actually helping employees accomplish tasks. The study found that those with their email accounts open switched windows more than twice as often as those without email open on their computers.
A recent study sponsored by Citrix highlights just how much time all those emails require. Research shows that nearly half of individuals in the workplace are spending more than two full hours of each day on email.
It's a rapid response world where many of your clients and colleagues expect answers within minutes of sending a message. However, don't let that pressure dilute your creative energy. Too much time on email may take away valuable time that you could dedicate toward outline new ideas for innovation at your next meeting.

Edra Soto's GRAFT
April 18, 2013 · Print This Article
Grafting is a horticultural process that involves splicing one plant onto another to jump start growth. The root stock is the base, or anchor, of the operation used for its already mature, well developed root system. The scion is the plant matter that is grafted on; if the process is successful, you end up with a genetic duplication of the scion. Edra Soto's current exhibition "Graft" is on view now at Terrain in Oak Park, a project space encompassing artist and principal Sabina Ott's front yard. Soto uses Ott's front porch as the root stock to graft her installation, comprised of patterned, bright white screened gates, onto, and although they mimic the aesthetic appeal  of similar gates in her native Puerto Rico, they function quite differently in the terroir of Oak Park. Soto was kind enough to discuss this, along with her inspiration for the project and her own gallery and art collection with me below. "Graft's" closing reception is this Sunday, April 21 from 1-4pm.
TLN: I know the patterning and the structure of the screen installed at Terrain is inspired by similar wrought iron fences in Puerto Rico, where you're from. Can you tell me a little bit about your background, and what inspired you to utilize these fences in your work– was it their design? A certain nostalgia for Puerto Rico? The way they fit within Oak Park?
ES: Yes, this patterning comes from iron fences that still exist in Puerto Rico. Many are in my parent's neighborhood (where I grew up). The neighborhood was built in the early 60s and in addition to the aesthetic appeal, the screens provided security and ventilation. It's easy to find all kinds of information relevant to the problems related to criminality at that time. However, there's not much information about the pattern designs of the fences. My interest in these patterns started around 7 years ago. I made some illustrations of them, but didn't develop the idea further. My frequent visits to Puerto Rico awoke my interest in them again. My husband started using some of these patterns in the furniture he builds and that definitely made me feel I was missing out. Somehow, his admiration of the fences validated my previous interest in them. The last time I went to Puerto Rico with my husband, we went on fieldtrips around my parents' neighborhood and adjacent neighborhoods to take pictures of these fences. That was one of the most fun things we have done together. We truly love finding patterns we haven't seen before. After all that fun activity, the idea of transplanting a Puerto Rican fence in Oak Park came to me. Their beauty allures me but their potential of becoming modern art when taken out of their original context spooks me!
TLN: You run a gallery space in your backyard, The Franklin, and Sabina Ott has dedicated her front yard to her exhibition space, Terrain. Do you think The Franklin and Terrain have a lot in common, or do they take two different approaches to a similar format? What are some challenges of having an outdoor exhibition space? Do you find that most of the works are made specifically for the exhibition space?
ES: I'm so glad you ask this question because it hasn't been asked before. Just now, we have created evidence that documents one small part of the history of domestic artist-run gallery spaces in Chicago. I probably will have a conversation with Sabina soon, since I don't know the reasons why she chooses to do her projects in her front yard. From my end, I was offered an exhibition at Northeastern Illinois University last year and had almost a year to conceive the project. That time allowed me to partner with my husband on the project, have a lot of conversations about possible projects, and eventually, creating The Franklin became our project. I kept asking myself 'what can we offer to the art community that is not available to them'? Having a significant art collection was another motivation, thinking ahead of time that it would be great to open our house during opening nights at The Franklin and extend the life of the artwork we own beyond our own personal enjoyment. The specific structure of the Franklin offers the challenges of interacting somewhat with its design. Being partially outdoors forces the artists to react to the space as well. So far, the most successful projects come from artists that have challenged themselves by creating specific interactions utilizing their work, their aesthetics and their ingenuity. It is a great challenge.
TLN: Because we've worked together previously, I know a little bit about your amazing collection of art work and visual culture in your home, which itself is a kind of museum of objects and works that inspire and influence you. I know you said you would often trade works with other artists, or purchase pieces at auction to build your collection, but what made you want to start exhibiting work and start a gallery? Is it related at all to collecting? Seems like there might be a similarly social aspect of owning and displaying work, but it may also be a more private, archival impulse that motivates you.
ES: Collecting art comes from a very honest place. I just happen to love many different kinds of art and also happen to have a lot of talented friends that make it. I am fascinated by materiality and objects, but really avoid being a packrat. Collecting art makes us feel that we are doing something honorable. It is after all someone's real connection to art language and represents a little bit of the person that made it. I wouldn't display my work at my house because I have always thought that it is a little bit tacky. It's like putting a big portrait of myself in the middle of the room. Not that I don't have pictures of me (most of them with my husband) around the house. But I see those as memories reminders.
One of the reasons I felt motivated to open a gallery in our backyard was to give a 'second life' to our art collection. Having other artists work at your house, in such a private setting, kind of limits the initial purpose of that art piece. Indeed, every single time we have an opening, I encourage people to look around. Lots of work gets lots of compliments and I get to tell the visitors, and then the artists, how much people like their work. So The Franklin has 3 major components: The exhibitions at the space, the art collection, and an upside down pineapple cake that I've been making since 2009. Derived from my wedding cake, made by my mother, I started this project in an effort to transform sour memories around the original cake. Now it's one of our traditions at The Franklin. An installation of these cakes will be created for a collaborative project by Alberto Aguilar at the MCA during this summer.

A Loves Farewell
How can you say it was never meant to be, the love that was shared by you and me? How can you so easily just walk away, like a game that ended you chose to play?
My Heart Has Never Mended
I live my life from day to day in dreams from a broken past. Memories that never fade away of a love that didn't last. Our love was but for a season but the feelings so greatly grew. never thinking thtere'd be a reason my heart would break into.
So vivid on my mind
My heart lies in the simpler times of crystal brooks and Georgia pines. Those were the days of her and me. If I could only go back then I'd probably
Love Hurts
From deep within my heart I've cried many unseen tears, from the pain of loves deception I've felt throughout the years. No one will ever truely know the pain one feels inside, until they themselves have held close to a love that has slowly died.
Mother Nature
The sun slowly rises to kiss the morning sky which changes to a beautiful blue. The stars make way for yet another day after shinning the whole night through.
An answer to a question
How can we stand by and do nothing at all? How can we simply look away? How can we act as if nothing is wrong, when children are starving to death everyday?

A Loves Farewell
How can you say it was never meant to be,
the love that was shared by you and me?
How can you so easily just walk away,
like a game that ended you chose to play?
If you love me like I love you,
I don't know how you can say we're through.
My love for you still stands so strong.
How can something so right turn out to be so wrong?
I don't think I can ever stop loving you,
and it's hard to believe you don't love me to..
but somehow I'll let you go if that's what it takes
and I'll bid to you farewell as my heart breaks.

With improvement in the power situation, APTransco and the four distribution companies have reduced the number of power holidays in a week for industries from two to one with effect from Monday.
Similarly, the power cut in cities like Hyderabad, Visakhapatnam, Vijayawada, Tirupati and Warangal has now been restricted to two hours a day from four hours and to four hours in district headquarters (from six hours). It has been reduced to six hours for mandal headquarters (from eight hours) and to eight hours for villages (from 12 hours).
The improved situation has been attributed to heavy rains in Rayalaseema and inclement weather in the remaining parts of the State which brought down the demand for power significantly. The agriculture load in Rayalaseema also tumbled due to the rains while generation improved at the thermal stations.
According to APTransco CMD Ajay Jain, there was a drastic fall in the demand for power in Tamil Nadu due to heavy rains. Consequently, power was available for sale from the exchange and private traders and the State was purchasing nearly 8 million units (mu) daily. The demand-availability gap came down to 13 mu a day compared to 40 mu during the strike.

On October 7th I posted a blog about the Gothic Manchester Festival, and how I was hoping to write a new short story in time for a reading I was scheduled to perform at the International Anthony Burgess Foundation along with Ramsey Campbell and Stephen McGeagh. I intended to write something "brisk and baleful", around 1500 words. Well, I didn't. Not brisk, anyway. It ended up being around 6000 words, and I ditched my original title, Way Out Via 30 Steps (although I like that title too much to discard it completely). It is now called Shaddertown, and it will be appearing early next year in the excellent Shadows & Tall Trees (edited by Michael Kelly), alongside Alison Moore, Kaaron Warren, Myriam Frey, David Surface, CM Muller, Robert Levy, Charles Wilkinson, Tara Isabella Burton, VH Leslie, Brett Cox, Michael Wehunt, Ralph Robert Moore and Ray Cluley.

Hit me with your Twitter stick
As part of the Gothic Manchester Festival I'll be reading (alongside Ramsey Campbell and Stephen McGeagh) at an event run by the excellent Twisted Tales people (27th October). The evening is an opportunity for us to talk about why we have chosen to set so many of our stories in Manchester. It was lovely to be invited along, but after confirming my attendance I began to have a bit of a panic. How many stories had I actually set in Manchester? I went through my files… plenty set in Warrington and London… a handful set abroad in the Charente-Maritime, in Venice, in the Northern Territories of Australia… but Manchester? Er… one. Which is fine, I suppose. I could read a bit from that (Late Returns, set in Didsbury, if you're wondering), and try to relax this idea of boundaries to include Warrington while we discussed our reasons and motivations.
But I thought I'd use my Manchester shyness as a spur to write something new. And something audience-friendly. By which I mean short. Something brisk and baleful, under 1500 words if I could manage it.
I'd been on a tour of Manchester's subterranean tunnels and long wanted to use that as a location in a story, but it was only while travelling back from Ormskirk last week, when I saw a sign at a railway station (WAY OUT IN 30 STEPS) that I made connections and felt the prickling of an idea. There was every chance it would simply end up on an index card under a pile of Urgent and Pending and Do this NOW you complete sac-head. So I started posting it on Twitter, deciding that I couldn't cope with the shame of not finishing a project that I was releasing piecemeal to the public.
It's first draft, warts-and-all, so please be gentle with me if you decide to tag along. You might hate it (you might even enjoy it), but remember first and foremost it's there to act as a fire under my backside…
…from my cold, dead hands
Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Dylan Thomas
Many of us have jobs. Full-time jobs, part-time jobs, weekend jobs, holiday jobs.
I've done my fair share of grim jobs. I've delivered pizza. I've worked in one of the busiest bars in Warrington on New Year's Eve. I spent one bewildering day trying to sell kitchens. I sorted out an oncology department filing system at a London hospital into three piles: Living, Dead, Dying. I've lugged heavy firecheck doors all around a Hackney warehouse. When my dad was an Investigator for a security firm back in the late '80s and early '90s, I was offered the chance to spend my summers between college and university terms working as a security guard, usually on a construction site, for £2.50 an hour (thanks, Dad… why couldn't you have been a chocolate taster, or the owner of a boutique hotel?). Invariably this would involve sitting in a Portakabin or, if I was unlucky, a car, for up to 16 hours a day, mainly ensuring that kids didn't come to play in the piles of sand.
One summer I wrote the first draft of a novel and soaked up a very nice tan while ostensibly acting as a deterrent in serge on a patch of waste land off the M56 near Appleton. With hindsight I was lucky to have that job, even though it didn't pay well, because it gave me huge swathes of time to write, or read, with impunity. I wanted to do nothing but be a writer, and I remember being in a froth of panic at the thought that one day I would probably end up with a proper job that stole the hours I would otherwise spend making things up.
When I did get a proper job, my fears came true and I grew so desperate to get my own fiction written that I set the alarm clock for 6am so I could get some pages down before I went into work.
Now I've been lucky enough to write full time for a few years. It's likely not to be a permanent thing, but I'll take it where I can. It's all I really know and what I love. I imagine this cycle of writing and work will continue until I'm too decrepit to know the difference between a pen and a mug of Complan (if indeed I ever did). Essentially, I couldn't stop writing even if I wanted to. It is as much a part of me as my heart or my backbone. I was writing before I realised you could be paid for it, and I think that is key to the kind of writer you eventually become.
Which brings me, somewhat circuitously, to the point of this post. In recent times I've stumbled upon (what I consider) strange behaviour among established writers, chiefly Jim Crace and Alice Munro. Both have taken the decision to retire from writing, as if it was, you know, just a normal job and not some ravening compulsion. Crace, clearly, is not what you might call a born writer. He considers writing to be something one should be paid to do and believes that once your popularity wanes, you should pack it in. In an interview in 2008 with the Guardian, Crace first broached the subject of his own retirement. An author's lot is predicated on bitterness, according to him, resulting in "the elderly novelist who may be writing his/her best books but whose day has come and gone. S/he is no longer fashionable and can only find a marginal publisher and command a tiny advance. The book receives few reviews and is ignored by the public. Bitterness."
Munro's situation is all the more baffling because previously, in a Paris Review interview, she'd expressed concern at the thought of calling it a day. You get the sense, though, with Munro (who is 81 compared with Crace, in his mid-sixties), that she feels she's written everything she wanted to write, that she is, in effect, spent. If that's the case, then good luck to her. I hope to hell that never happens to me.
I contacted two writers I admire immensely – Ramsey Campbell and Peter Straub – both huge influences on me as I was developing, and both of an age that in other occupations would see them being handed the gold carriage clock and a goodbye handshake, yet both are still going strong.
Ramsey is as prolific as ever, perhaps even more so. Over a career that spans fifty years, he has published such genre classics as The Face that Must Die, Incarnate, Midnight Sun and The Grin of the Dark as well as hundreds of short stories. This year sees the publication of The Last Revelation of Gla'aki, which is, unless I'm mistaken, his 33rd novel.
"I can't imagine ever retiring as a writer unless that was somehow enforced, say by an illness that left me unable to write," Ramsey says. "Ideas – I have notebooks full of them, and some have been lying dormant for years, even decades. Now and then I have a browse of them and often discover how to develop one that failed to inspire me at the time. Not long ago I discovered that my original notes that led to my writing 'The Companion' forty years ago are so remote from the actual story that there's actually a complete other tale to be had of them, and I may well get around to it. As to the future, well, they'd better leave me a pen inside the coffin in case I need to scribble a last tale or two."
Peter Straub, arguably one of the most influential modern horror writers, is the author of Ghost Story, Shadowland, Floating Dragon and Koko. Recent books such as lost boy, lost girl and In the Night Room have garnered awards and critical acclaim. His latest novel, A Dark Matter, was described by the Guardian as 'understated, literary horror, all the more terrifying… for what he keeps from the reader and for his brilliant psychological portraits of innocents caught up in events beyond their control and understanding. Gripping.'
"I've never thought for longer than a couple of seconds about retirement," says Peter, "but Philip Roth retired this year, and if he can do it, I certainly can. I guess the real motive would arrive one day when I would have to realize that I really was not as good as once I was, and my books really did seem to be growing weaker. For long time now, writing fiction has seemed to be my most dependable way of achieving stability, contentment, inner peace. Yet now I am seventy, and writing has become more difficult, and it goes a lot more slowly. I'd like to think I might have three or four more novels in me. The presence of ideas or the lack of ideas does not trouble me, because I almost never have 'ideas'. I spin everything out of its own materials. This is a very absorbing process. However, the certainty of embarrassing myself in public would be a powerful incentive to walk away from my desk.
"I don't think one can think of writing in the same way one would medicine or the law, or any conventional business. It is riskier and scarier, also less tangible than most occupations. And you have to spend so much time alone. It is a very strange, small, displaced aperture through which to see and experience the world, also to explain what you find in the process. On the other hand, it is so unimaginably rich."
Ten years ago I interviewed Christopher Priest, and at the time he said something about writing that resonated with me. He said writing was like 'drinking water'. It was just something he did, natural and essential to his life. He could no longer stop doing it than he could stop breathing. And most writers I know feel the same way. Because how do you switch off the tap? Or is it a case of no longer answering the 'What if?' questions, ignoring the moments when you think: that would make a good story. Turning away from the fantasies, refusing to engage with the voices in your head – to me (at the moment) that sounds more like death than the real thing.
Head Injuries
In 1993 I started the novel that would become Head Injuries. It was called Dust back then. Heavily influenced by M John Harrison, Ramsey Campbell and Clive Barker, it was my attempt at a modern British ghost story. It's a flawed novel, but one for which I have great fondness. I wrote it on an Amstrad with a 10″ screen bought from Morgans near Manchester Piccadilly train station. As I paid for it (I think it was about fifty pounds), the salesman asked if I wanted to upgrade to a 12″ screen for an extra tenner. I said I couldn't afford it and he said not to worry. 'There's a free set of binoculars comes with with it so you can see what you're typing.' Chortle.
The novel is partly set in Morecambe, which is where I stayed while I wrote the novel (I was taking the Creative Writing MA at Lancaster University at the time). Much of what happens in the book happened during my stay, but I'll leave it to you to decide what is fact and what is fiction because the book, for so many years out of print, is available again, for the Kindle. You'll find it on Amazon pages in USA and UK as well as the rest of the world.
I pondered for some time about releasing the book in 2013, as it would have been fifteen years since its publication (the novel was published one day before my 29th birthday) but other than me, who really gives a toss? So I thought I'd get it out there now, before Christmas. And just for you, for being such wonderful people, it's available at a low price for a limited period. Included with the novel is an introduction by me and two related short stories. Bargain.
I hope you like it. Drop by and tell me what you think!

Love Me Tender
I was at alt.fiction last weekend, an excellent little sf/fantasy/horror convention in Leicester. On Sunday I attended the launch of The Mammoth Book of Body Horror edited by Marie O'Regan and Paul Kane. My story, Sticky Eye, appears in the book. I was told it was to be a signing event, but it turned out to be more of a panel. Novelists David Moody and Simon Clark – both excellent company – were also in attendance.
The panel was hosted by Alasdair Stuart, who made a fine fist of pretending to be Ramsey Campbell, who was unfortunately absent. Towards the end of our allotted hour, Alasdair asked the panel what their favourite body horror story was. I might have mentioned either of Stephen King's stories, Survivor Type or Grey Matter, or pretty much anything of Clive Barker's, but at the last moment I remembered a story that had horrified me so greatly that I had to put down for a while the book in which it had been anthologised.
All I could remember was that Bob Shaw had written it (now I've been able to check, I can reveal that it's called Love Me Tender), but I fiercely remembered the impact it had upon me. It appeared in Ramsey's New Terrors anthology in 1980. Remembering that jaw-dropper of a story also reminded me of the time I met Bob Shaw, back in the early 1990s.
I can't quite remember why he did it (perhaps I'd asked him for any writing mentors or contacts in the neighbourhood, perhaps he was sick of me pestering him and wanted to direct my attention elsewhere) but it was Ramsey who gave me Bob's phone number, which contained the same area code as my own. I can remember being taken aback by the idea that any writer – particularly one as prominent as Bob Shaw – would choose to live in Warrington, but I was delighted that I might be able to pick the brains of a well-respected novelist without forking out for a train ticket.
I was quite nervous when I called Bob but was immediately put at ease by his charm, and his gentle Belfast accent. He told me he'd be in the Ring O'Bells pub on Church Street and that I would know him by the trim of his beard which he wore, he said, because he fancied it gave him a 'conquistadorial air'. I went along and had a thoroughly enjoyable evening, and met him a couple more times after that, but I never mentioned Love Me Tender, mainly because I was unconvinced that someone so convivial could write something so terrifying.
Time passed, I moved to Morecambe, then London, and it was while I was there that I heard that Bob Shaw had died, in 1996. Christopher Priest's obituary of Bob Shaw can be found here.
So… what's your favourite body horror story?
