Ghosts Like Us my new novel

I am preparing to publish my latest novel, Ghosts Like Us. Waiting for the first proof copies. This novel has been completed for a while, and I decided to add it to the series of books published by the Local Time Publishing project. (This novel, and the memoir, are new titles; the other LTP titles are new editions of previously published books.) I love this novel. Have a look at the cover and description:

IDEA conference, Malatya, Turkey 15-17 April 15

Just returned from the IDEA “Studies in English” conference held at Inönü university in the east-Turkey city of Malatya. http://idea2015.inonu.edu.tr/IDEA_2015_CONFERENCE/Home.html
I talked about Peter Weir’s 1981 film Gallipoli.
Conferences are wonderful for the stimulation and joy of conversations and hearing papers, and additional highlights of this one were dancing to live music at the dinner, poetry reading at the Caravanserai, and the trip to snow-capped Mount Nemrut
