Line(s) of the Day #TheTwilightZone

It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition; and it lies between the pit of man’s fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call The Twilight Zone.

The introduction for each of the 164 episodes of The Twilight Zone (1959 – 1964), as narrated by its creator Rod Serling. A huge phenomenon and one that is still regularly referenced in popular culture, it has been adapted several times since, with a latest incarnation being announced for later this year. Feel free to share your favourite episode in a non-spoiler way.

Announcement: Exciting News. First Published Story.

In the summer of love, or rather of madness, a whole set of stories are emerging. But there is one that has got everyone talking. When Kurt Vannes decides to win back his ex-girlfriend with the help of a literary classic, he sets off a string of events that will build to a dramatic finale.

It’s been a pleasure to share with you my favourite literary works since creating the blog, but this time I have very exciting news. This is my first ever short story published and something I had to share with you all. I’ve long been a fan of short stories and it’s wonderful to finally have something of mine within the genre in print.

If you want to find out whether Kurt’s big gesture does win her back, it’s available here in both Kindle and paperback form.

Line(s) of the Day #HeyJude

Hey Jude, don’t make it bad
Take a sad song and make it better
Remember to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better

Taken from the much-loved single Hey Jude by The Beatles in 1968, which unusually wasn’t on any studio album. It was their biggest hit in the US, spending nine weeks at number one, and topped the charts worldwide. It’s long been one of my favourite Beatles songs, along with Tomorrow Never Knows, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, In My Life and The End.

In this room you couldn’t buy your win, you couldn’t buy me and you couldn’t buy a seat at the table.

Line(s) of the Day: Funny Dog Cartoon

After my dessert-themed cartoon, here’s another, this time capturing that very special bond between owner and dog.
