I always read Dickens this time of year. Normally on Christmas Day I will reread either The Chimes or A Christmas Carol, and I may read A Tale of Two Cities in December.
This year I am also thinking of rereading an old thriller of mine, which Penguin published seven years back (The Christmas Killer, by Jim Gallows). I haven't read it since I wrote it about fifteen years back.
Dickens; A Christmas Carol.. I never get tired of it this time of year. I cant count the many times, read, theaters from the high street to local school plays, film remakes, etc. Inspired me it has in many ways.
Cook Books... several = Alpine/Alpina traditional Romanisch .. Thats my theme for Xmas. It inspires my writing, kinda like an end to end creative process, living in inspirational moments with a big picture plan & adjusting & tuning on the fly.... My wife, has been relieved of all kitchen duties. (canceled)= sorry ladies if that came across discriminatory, mans gotta do what a mans gotta do. Shes been reassigned to wine quality control + seasons decor duties & assorted shopping errands. She still has a small section in the kitchen, when she feels inspired... hmm(?). No bravado intended, the kitchen + all the hardware is mine. New cook books, with some creative writing mixed in there for a seasoned, creative Holiday season.... All Good*
Hi all from Down Under, I’ve just started reading The Book You Were Born To Write by Kelly Notaras. Not new but new to my world. Just finished Chillpreneur which is about empowering women with financial freedom. Inspiring! Happy Christmas. 🎄
I am looking forward to a jolly Christmas with Bertie, Jeeves, Gussie, Honoria and Stinker Pinker. Then down to earth with a Stuart Macbride thriller and, if Santa received the message, Andrew Roberts biography of George III.
As I have no money for Christmas prezzies, I have invested in making Christmas personal and intimate by revising and publishing three of my stage plays which many years ago enjoyed success in their own right and are more relevant today, as they treat with: our right to inherit the world / the lack of empathy for grief / and our failing humanity.
I'm really looking forward to "An Editor's Burial", a selection of journalism that inspired the latest Wes Anderson film, 'The French Dispatch' which was fabulous. Even better than The Grand Budapest Hotel.

Father Christmas and his Animal Crew!
The Lyrics, Paul McCartney. Looks fabulously and expensively produced. And he needs the money...
