Time marches on. Yes, indeed, time marches on. No, look again. See if you get it, lovey. The post is about the month of March, a March round up, and I just said that time marches on. MARCHES on. Do you get it? Do you get it? Ah forget it!
Anyway, another month is over, done with, done and dusted, a distant thing of the past. I had a cool month for my work. I started up SCENES, a blog version of my cult and classic movie magazine, which I am also putting together a new physical issue of currently. But the blog is a good place to put book samples, interviews, articles and new bits and pieces too. I really enjoy updating it every couple of days. You can look at it here:

This aside, I have also been getting the word out there about my book on James Woods' movies. It's been really fun interacting with people who've been discovering it, and I have Jimmy himself to thank for sharing it with his fans on Twitter. I have already had some positive responses from people who've bought and enjoyed it, which makes it all worthwhile.
One cool thing I did for the book was appear on James Hancock's great movie podcast, Wrong Reel. We discussed Woods' career at length, key movies and his acting style. It was really fun, and I recommend listening to Wrong Reel whenever you can. James Hancock is a really enthusiastic film obsessive.... like me, You can hear the chat here:

I also wrote a little piece for Cinema Retro about the book, which you can read here:

In other (shit) news, my beloved cat, Violet, was hit by a car, but thankfully she pulled through, though she did have to have a leg amputated. Still, she's stood next to me as I type this staring at me, waiting to get on to my lap for a cuddle. I drew a pic of her recently as a tribute. She's the only cat who's been struck on that road and lived to tell the tale... Not literally of course, that would be terrifying.
I haven't recorded any new music this month, as I have been focusing on film-writing, but Dodson and Fogg has made its way on to some more indie radio shows recently. Plus, I did an interview for Psychedelic Baby all about my recent releases, which will be going live on their site soon.
It's the Easter holidays at the minute, so my daughter Lily is off school. And, I might add, in my face a lot! No, I love it really. Spending time with her is great, though I do only manage to get a breather from her when I go and hide in the bathroom, pretending that I need a poo for five minutes' rest!
So until next time, ta ta for now...
