While I’m on a divergent path at the moment, here’s another interruption.

Diplomacy is, I would say, my first hobby. But it is not just who I am. Oh, no, this writer has a depth deeper than something very deep indeed. Honest.

My other love is reading. Fantasy, Science-Fiction, non-fiction (mainly history), crime (OK, I may just as well have said Agatha Christie) … these are the things I love to read. With a smattering of horror thrown in.

So, as I seem unable to keep my loves to myself, I have launched another site, Diplomaticon Books.

This is a site about my love of reading. A site where I review books I’ve read and, usually, deeply enjoyed. And it may also feature reviews of Diplomacy books, just to catch you up in it.

Anyway, just to give it a mention. If you want to have a look, you know where to go.
