How cool! Just checked out your website. I too am a writer in Dulwich, and my novel 'BECOMING NANCY' is also set in East Dulwich- but in 1979. I grew up here too! It comes out in paperback in March and I'll post properly about it then.

Heya Into the Groove


I'd like to read it. I often think, when I'm out for a wander in E Dulwich, what the area was like decades back. I remember the first time I visited, in 1999 or so, and think how much it's changed since then. 1979 ... whole different story, I imagine. Wil you please let me know when the book is out?

I've just finished reading the Kindle version and absolutely loved it. I bought it because I liked the idea of reading a book set in a familiar surrounding but the fact that ED was the back drop to some of the scenes was by the by. It's a really well thought out novel with a fascinating central character. I have recommended it to my friends :-)

Much as I love -- and recommend, if I'm honest -- the high you get from going to Review, or Chener's, or Dulwich Books, or Herne Hill Books, or the Bookseller Crow (all of whom have it in paperback), if you've got a Kindle, you've got a Kindle, and Now You Know is now in Amazon's Hot 100 ebooks.

So, there we have it: rampant literary promotion. Enjoy.

I bumped into some old mates the other day who still live in Lordship Lane and who asked how my novel Now You Know (set in East Dulwich, Peckham, Lewisham, etc) was doing, where it's available, etc. Made me realise how much it still takes me by surprise that when I catch the train home from London Bridge, it's to Brighton, rather than East Dulwich, like it was for years.


I was relieved to say the book's doing well, and thought I'd better update everyone on its availability. Naturally, I'd still recommend Review, Chener's, Herne Hill Books, and Dulwich Books, but there's also...

Blimey. You mention something on the East Dulwich Forum, and you go to the Top 3 (No 2 , to be precise) in the book charts. Amazing!


Many thanks, everyone. Enjoy. And happy Christmas and New year. Here's hoping the rain turns to snow and the EDT doesn't run dry of Laphroig.

Thanks, Newboy. That made my day. And 'Becoming Nancy' is good stuff, isn't it. Sadly missed the launch at... crikey, it's been a bit, but it was at that nice homeware shop along Lordship Lane, sort of near Franklin's. Hope you like the book and happy Christmas.

    • It looks as though there will be 10 of us!  We are going to Love Dulwich again for a lunch and will checkout their 'normal' menu - from what we remember from the last 2 times we went = there was plenty to satisfy every one and they were happy to take party bookings.- Hubby and I have worked out that if all our daughters, grandchildren and great grandchildren were  to come - there would be 20 of us!! As it is - the Essex  family branch live too far away to come over for an evening - so we will meet up in Essex at a later date.
    • Tend to use 37 or 42 bus as rarely been able to find parking space. Sods Law - there is sometimes a few spaces when I bus it.!
    • Just to warn anyone thinking of employing or engaging Chris and Anna Richmond, that nothing has changed.  The accounts above from others are all too familiar.  A job that we were told would take between 6-8 months is now entering its 23rd month.  They have taken enormous amounts of money from us, finished nothing, and the quality of the work that they have delivered is poor to substandard.  They take no responsibility themselves - there are endless excuses and everything is someone else's fault.  They do not care about the impact that their actions have on anyone else.   They are, at best, chaotic. They have not delivered as the designers or project managers that they claim to be. They are rarely on site to monitor the progress or quality of the job that is being delivered and they and manage their largely non-English speaking workforce by WhatsApp and Google translate.  There has been little evidence that they employ the skilled tradespeople needed to lay tiles, install bathrooms and kitchens, decorate and complete to the standard that we have paid for.  I cannot stress enough, that if you are currently in discussion with Anna and Chris Richmond about a future job or have paid them money up front for a job that they have slipped in delivering, to quit while you are ahead.  Things won't get better.
    • Hi All, I’d like to recommend Aaron Manser, who several others on this forum have also used. Aaron is an excellent plasterer, and has just finished a complicated piece of plastering work for me, including a large expanse of ceiling. His work has been of the highest quality, his attention to detail is exceptional, and he’s also very quick, and tidy too. As an added bonus he has a lovely singing voice. Happy to provide any photos of the work he has done. This is the third time over the past few years I’ve had Aaron back. Aaron Manser - 07773 410661 Regards, Damien
