		<title>Good reviews for new Werewolf novel</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My viking werewolf novel has been generating some very good press on its advanced review copies. Adam Roberts &#8211; the guy who caused a furore last year when he described the Hugo shortlist as unadventurous and conservative, has called the book &#8216;a classic&#8217;. http://punkadiddle.blogspot.com/2009/12/m-d-lachlan-wolfsangel-2010.html He says: This is not a run of the mill Fantasy [...]]]></description>

		<title>Meet me at Dragonmeet, though I am not a dragon</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ll be at Dragonmeet on 28 November at Kensington Town Hall. I&#8217;m looking forward to it. If I get the time I might even try a game. I&#8217;m on a panel discussing the impact of RPGs on fantasy novels. I&#8217;d love to hear opinions if anyone&#8217;s got any. Mark]]></description>

		<title>Working like a dog, a hard working dog</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Really having a think about the direction of the second half of my new book. Do I confine it to one area or allow the heroes to roam about? How many new characters can I introduce without it becoming too confusing. I think I&#8217;ll just forget about it and write. I&#8217;ve worked out the motivations [...]]]></description>

		<title>Things you love and things you hate about fantasy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just replying to comments got me thinking about stuff I love and stuff I hate in fantasy. Nothing massively original here but I&#8217;d love to hear what you think. Love: A good monster. Black riders, the Fetch from Wizard of Earthsea, even Mrs Coulter from His Dark Materials (a sort of monster). Grendel from Beowulf&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>Paperback launched in States. Excitement reigns.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Paperback of Elfish Gene now out in States. Very exciting, particularly since the marketing mob at Soho have come up with a brilliant trailer for the book. I didn&#8217;t even know there were book trailers before this. I grow old, I grow old, I shall&#8230; you know the rest. Here it is. http://bookscreening.com/2009/10/07/the-elfish-gene-by-mark-barrowcliffe/   Do [...]]]></description>

		<title>Healthcare</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Interesting to watch the healthcare debate in the US from this side of the pond. All I can say is that the portrayals of the NHS by some on the US right have nothing to do with reality whatsoever. My mother broke her hand in a fall here two days ago. An ambulance picked her [...]]]></description>

		<title>Finished werewolf novel</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just surfaced from four month head down bash on novel and now have time to blog. Returned to a world of spam so sorry if I accidentally deleted anyone&#8217;s message &#8211; 2000 odd comments, and couldn&#8217;t bring myself to check each one. Can now say a bit more about my novel. It&#8217;s called Wolfsangel and [...]]]></description>
