My main interests are Reading, writing, field hockey, trad jazz, classical music, travel, languages, people, statistics, technology.

Some of my favourite books include Skallagrigg, The Island, The Return, Birdsong, A Thousand Splendid Suns, The Kite Runner, Eagle of the Ninth, We Won a War, In Quest of the Unicorn Bird, The Shadow of the Wind.

I've played (field) hockey since I was seven years old. I now play veterans hockey for Andover Diamonds. It is a lot of fun and very sociable.

I have always been a prolific reader and my favourite genre has to be historical fiction. I just feel that it brings history to life, and I am not too bothered about the historical accuracy as long as it has at least SOME basis in fact. Who is to say that the dryl

What I like most about it is that the scenes, the dialogues, bring dry historical events to life.
I try to do the same with my own writing and that is why I love to write inspirational fiction . I take an event or the story of a person who inspires me, as the core true story and then weave fiction around it to make it more interesting for my readers.(less)

In the meantime, have a few little chuckles at my short stories at the bottom of my profile.

Lance Greenfield No. I was stationed at HMS Thunderer - RNEC Manadon - Crownhill. It was closed down years ago.

I did go out with a Wren from HMS Raleigh though. She was a cook/chef called Denise Clarke, who was gorgeous. Her presence in my cabin at 3 am when the Commander came knocking on my door led to disciplinary action: just a reprimand. If she'd just stayed under the sheets and not [automatically] sprung to attention when he walked in, I'd've got away with it!


message 37: by Sarah

Sarah Ahh you must have been stationed in HMS Raleigh/Devonport Dock yard then, my father was there also.....small world.

I promise I will check out your short stories soon but I am off to Amsterdam on Tuesday so I won't be on GR for a little while.....I'm not sure how I will cope, I'm a complete GR addict!! :)

I finished Girl Trade a few days ago. I gave it 4 stars as I really enjoyed it. I usually write my reviews straight away, but I am extremely busy with work. I am currently in Munich. On Saturday I am going to our company HQ in Naples, Florida, for two weeks.

You might say, "How wonderful!" But I will be working hard, including weekends and evenings. I am presenting some deep technical training to new colleagues from around the world. We will have fun, because I am leading, but I won't have time to write my glowing (cheeks!) review, until I return. Sorry about that.

Lance Greenfield Hi Chloe.
I have read and reviewed at least three of your books, and given you a sideways mention in my review of another book where I know you made a cameo appearance on the cover.
Hopefully, you will reciprocate with a review of my first ever publication when it hits the streets this summer.
Your writing both arouses me and makes me laugh!
Best wishes,
Lance

Chloe Thurlow I received a list of your reviews at my email address today and was impressed by the quality and range - Sebastian Faulks is also one of my favorites, along with Milan Kundera, Gabriel Garcia Marques....and on and on. I am looking forward to seeing one of my novels on that list one day x

A few months ago, I was trying to initiate a discussion on scales for judging erotica, rather than reviewers just saying this is S-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O HOT!!!!!

Pardon me, for I am a statistician.

My proposals were:

Heat factor from iceberg cold to volcanic eruption.
Moistness factor from Kalahari Desert to Niagara Falls.

I am sure that you could do better. Perhaps you would like to initiate such a discussion on one of the groups of which you are a member?

I'd be excited to find out what your friends think, and I would be aiming to hit the top of every scale that you all invent....

Lance Greenfield Hi Reiko.
Thanks for the comments. Much appreciated.
I hadn't realised that my writing could be so thought-provoking!
One important factor that you missed: how much did it turn you on (if at all)? You could send me a message to answer that, if you like.
Are you taking a look at An African Massage?
Cheers,
Lance


message 8: by Reiko

Reiko Ito Hi, I read your "on the Altar". I was very impressed by variety factors on this story.
It starts with poetic and solemn atmosphere, and then moves to "naked" on the altar, bringing me to surprise.
Antitheses there, Sacrament and Beast, Ideal and Reality, and so on. I felt that we would be just only a creation which is thinking too much.
