if you want to pop and wax lyrical to simon himself then pop along to
Home he and his brother have their own forum and both attend regularly.
Also they have a writers help web site called
www.youwriteonline.co.uk
and a book shop
ScarrowShop.co.uk (Powered by CubeCart) so you can get signed books at source.
not trying to steal you away from here, i find time for both areas..
