My London Hood, Somerset House, Strand.

It was rainy day and I was taking a walk over my favourite bridge, Waterloo Bridge, and I decided to pop into Somerset House. It's quite interesting because I don't think I've ever been into Somerset House, though I gone by numerous times. During the summer, when I was a student, I used to use the Kings College Library which is next door. And I've often peeped in through the gates during London Fashion Week, as it's a popular venue for fashion shows.

It's feels like a place and I only had a few minutes to spare so I didn't see much. But I didn't manage to go and see the famous Nelson Stairs which goes the Navy Board Rooms. So I guess if you are fan of Navel Times wars, it's definitely one for you. I think the Navy Board Rooms are by appointment only, I wasn't bothered because I was having a wander around.

I walked to the top of the stairs and railings are quite wonky and there is strange vibe so it felt a bit scary, with that said, people actually work in the building. I've worked in a few historic London buildings and they tend to have feel to them. There is an awareness around these old buildings, perhaps call it character, maybe even depth.

There are lots of long corridors which give an eerie hallow feel at times, though they have commercialised it so there are plenty of cafes that over look the main courtyard. As I mentioned above I only visited one part or rather wing of Somerset house. I'd call it the South Wing because it was facing the Thames, I don't know.

There is plenty to do in Somerset House, I was just in a rush and I thought - oh, I need something for the blog this week - so I went in, took some pictures, and I actually got some good writing inspiration so I might go back again.

If want to check it out here is their link, and they plenty of events and free activities to take part in.

My African American & Black Love Romance Adventure Nearly Ready After Four Years.

Thanks for dropping by and taking the time to read this. This post is going to be about my upcoming black love and African American contemporary romance release, which I think tentatively will be late this year or early 2024. It will be a six-part serialised novel, and I'll reveal the date nearer the time. It has been five years since my last black love romance novel. I have two novellas published on Amazon, and I'm pleased to finally say, I'm about to publish again. It's been a long time. I planned to release this book in February 2019, but after a long writer's block and other things, it had taken me this long to complete it. If you follow this blog on and off, I've spoken about it a lot over the years. I'm thinking maybe I should relabel those blog posts as a series of how it developed. The Story Description The names have changed well from Angelica to Pippa but it's fine. Everyone wants someone special but PIPPA MILLER thinks not her. She

On holiday And Vacation in Alcudia,Mallorca

I'm on a holiday break in Mallorca, Spain. So this means a I won't be writing the prompt. On holiday, I normally have a break from the internet though it's difficult nowadays with free WiFi. The hotel is okay. A four star on the lower end of the scale - this means no kettle and renting the safe. The higher end have more add ons. The room are tiny but functional and nice however in fairness it is a beach holiday destination so I doubt there is much lounging around. Food is okay. Superb beach. Everyone seems laid back and relaxed.

Finally I'm getting close to a release date for my urban Black Love African America Romance now Pippa & Leyton

I'm working on a pre-release campaign and it isn't going how I'd like it. However if you have being reading me on and off, you'll know I've been writing some novels-in-progress for the longest times! I stopped writing about it because it just got EMBARRASSING especially when I planned to release this book in 2019. Yes, five years ago! But it's nearly there. Leyton & Pippa The heroine started off being called Angelica but I kept on misspelling it so I changed it to Pippa. If you look under the label Angelica & Leyton a lot will come up. Anyway I'm exciting to say, I'm getting reading for publication soon. Its going to be a six-part serialised instalment, and I'll have details nearer the time. Maybe A Six Months Countdown I'm planning between three to six months, however when the details are clear, I'll write a post. I'm also doing an extended blog posts on another blog but I'll keep it short and simple here.
