Hello ED'ites,


Just a note to say that I'm a local journalist, published in Grazia, Marie Claire, Red, The Guardian, Times Style, and more, and my debut novel ??Bondi Blonde ? has just been published as an e-book (?1.59 on Amazon). Exciting!


I know there are a few book clubs in the area and I just wanted say that if any of you chose to review the book I'd LOVE to hear what you think, share the journey of the book with you...I've been signed to Curtis Brown with it and Holly Valance has read it and given me a quote for the cover...etc.


I love my 'hood' and all the creatives that make it the postcode T.D.F ;-)


You can read what the press has to say about it, and contact me, at www.lucillehowe.com, read more about me at www.curtisbrown.co.uk/lucille-howe and the book is here:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Bondi-Blonde-ebook/dp/B0080XQVMU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1340374250&sr=8-1


That's all! Happy holiday reading, whatever candy you choose for your Kindle this summer xxx

I think it's just usual EDF sniffy banter Jumpingbean. The world is full of armchair cynics, many of whom won't bother their arses to do anything. Completing a book takes a great deal of time, hard work, motivation and discipline - whatever anyone says and whatever anyone thinks of the content it's a huge achievement so well done (and good luck).

Mr Ben,


What a delightful chap you are! Thank you so much for waving your virtual pom poms for me. I just wanted to spread some positivity in the community and offer to share my experiences...maybe inspire some of those cynics out of their armchairs. Lovely meeting you on here and thank you again for taking the time to write.


Best wishes,

Im not going to get on your case, and im sure its a great book given your background and the cover really is a delight, but if you come along for a bit of self PR then ask for nothing critical in return, then you may find things dont go according to plan. Good luck.
The critisism wasn't aimed at my book but the way my post was written. Not just PR'ing but offering to share my experiences and knowledge at no cost. The book is only ?1.59. Believe me, there are quicker ways to earn that than spending time communicating on this forum! Pls see note about negativity. I'd like to keep this thread as a conversation between those interested. Enjoy you weekend. Lucille x
I did interview her, yes. She's an inspiration...a real self-starter who made all her success happen for herself. She pitched her TV show to the BBC, and her book to the publishers, without any fancy agent or publicist. Glamorous, talented and ambitious. Go the Khoo!

    • I know the couple you mean, and she has always been friendly and smiley when delivering to me, but obviously in a hurry, for all the reasons outlined in the thread. My gate is always open, however (unless someone coming to the house closes it when they leave). I can't see the point of gates that have to be opened and shut again every time someone comes to the house. It just seems a waste of time, and it's annoying if you are carrying stuff. And a closed gate  conveys a sort of "my house is my fortress" feel. To me, anyway.
    • Thanks for posting this. Really interesting. It would be good if you added a star rating, so that it was easier to do comparisons / see what your top recommendations are. Great blog though!
    • Hi, Just a quick note to say it's six months since I launched Eats Dulwich. In that time I've reviewed 28 restaurants. Usually four or five a month except for a month when I came down with gout, which I guess is an occupational hazard. Don't say I don't suffer for my art. Early on someone – Sue, I think – asked me what I'm going to do when I've reviewed every restaurant in East Dulwich. I'm nowhere near that point, but what I have found is that a lot of new openings have tended to be in Rye Lane, so the site has expanded to cover SE15, hence the slight change of name (still haven't had any cease and desist letters from anything with a similar name).  Anyway, the site is still free, it would be great if as many readers as possible here can subscribe so that they automatically get new posts (when you try to subscribe the default might be paid subs but that's down to Substack, just tick the free option instead) as I don't post everything on EDF. Obviously you can get reviews elsewhere if you want, but I think this is the only proper site for local East Dulwich people written by a local East Dulwich person. If you like eating out please have a read. And if there are other places you think I should visit please mention them below and i'll do my best to try them.

    • Can you explain what your point was, then? Because it isn't clear to me. No. Perhaps you could provide a link and explain its relevance? That would be helpful     Those figures suggest that over 10,000,000 voters were not "rejecting a far left party."
