So, what you think?

A brand new looking blog. Ah, as fresh as your morning coffee.
I have been a bit fed up with the layout of the blog recently, as I said in my last post, so, here we are.
The pictures are of Rochdale Town hall, where the culmination of NRPD: The mean streets, my lovely novel, happens. Of course it's a bit more modern now than in these old pictures. They have inside toilets and everything. In the older picture from 1874 the more observant viewer will notice a different clock tower. It actually burnt down in April, 1883. The new one was built in 1888. The funny thing was the fire brigade were stationed directly behind the town hall and were on the scene in seconds. Unfortunately, in 1883, the water pump had to build pressure so it could squirt out. This was achieved by the turning of the wheels of the horse-drawn carriage. The fire brigade had to circle the town hall to build up the pressure and it took that long the bloody thing was cinders before the fireman had their hoses out. Shame, it looked cool.
Anyway, enough of that. What do you think? Is it better? Does it matter?
The one thing is that the new layout might give me more impetus to keep you all informed of my writing endeavours and such.
Got to go now, I'm have to go and ice a cake I've made. And it's not out of a packet from Tesco or anything, and anybody who says so is a liar.
Cheers.

I'm still here

Sorry, sorry, sorry.
I've once again neglected my blog, to the point where the whole site is dusty and full of old spider webs. I intend on getting out the Dyson and giving the place a bit of a polish, so bear with me. I might give it a new lick of paint as well.
Anyway, to business. NRPD: The mean streets is still out there and I've been pushing it hard on Twitter, but I really want to get down and continue with the sequel. It's beginning to take shape.
My short story anthology is also still a work in progress. My latest story, Dreamer, is all finished up now.
So, bear with me and lets see what this new year will bring.
Cheers, Nick.
