The path wasn’t much. Cut into the hillside, a pale ribbon of chalk against the green. But it represented everything. The wide landscape stretched before them, fading into a green haze.

So I’ve been noticing a trend recently of, shall we say, somewhat overwrought author bios, in which every detail is teased into something magnificent, a picture of a life fabulously lived. I realise that there are, in fact, authors who do live wonderfully exciting lives but I also seem to remember a time when itContinue reading “Stuck Writing Your Author Bio?
