Search the GOB
A 'search this blog' facility is available at the top left of the page. Unfortunately, it doesn't work very well. For a quick and dirty search, it might do. The only really satisfactory way to find anything on this blog is go to the main Google search page, enter the terms you wish to search for (using the usual double inverted commas around complete phrases, names, et cetera), and then type, without spaces, the word site, colon, and URL of the blog, without the www. and without spaces. This procedure is the one that I use when the built-in search device tells me that I haven't written about something when I know damn well that I have.

Thanks for the note, Michael. Your readers may be interested to read my review of Roger Morris's Taking Comfort (the first MNW novel) over at Spike Magazine: http://www.spikemagazine.com/0406-roger-morris-taking-comfort.php
The digested read: It's good.
Another very good, indeed excellent, review for an MNW novel (North, by Brian Martin) has just appeared in the Spectator. (http://www.spectator.co.uk/books.php?id=3325)
