I’ve dotted the i’s and crossed the t’s on the latest installment of Eboracum (the fourth book). The writing phase is almost easier than what is to come… my editor’s comments and suggestions. However, if I was an author in ancient Roman times, I would be writing and re-writing everything by hand. Today, we have…
It’s summer and while for some people that means holidays and rest, for me it means work… and I’m retired! I’m mowing the grass today around our place. It takes two of us to get the job done. I get on my mower, my wife gets on her mower, and then we go around and…
Sound of Silence didn’t make the Whistler Independent Book Awards’ short-list. However, I was honoured to be in esteemed “long-list” company. Independent publishing is increasingly being taken seriously by the publishing industry and I’m glad the Whistler Independent Book Awards is recognizing indie published authors.

The wooden tablet and others were found during an archaeological dig in the middle of London. This is all fascinating enough but what also…

I was delighted to discover another review on Eboracum, The Village. This one was by Cathy W, on Goodreads, and it left me with a hearteningly warm glow. It’s such a wonderful feeling when someone really seems to like and enjoy your work. There is an irony to be found here, though. When I began…
Dropped my memoir off at the Little Free Library in Calgary on 7th Ave NE. Like I’ve said before, The Sound of Silence is an incredibly personal story. I’m sharing it with the sincere hope that readers will find something of value in my words. Let me know what you think: https://www.graham-clews.com/contact.shtml.
