DEREK TURNER
Scribbler. Lincolnshire
“I wonder that so many people have written, who might have let it alone” (Dr. Johnson)
This is where the kind or masochistic can find some of my articles, plus details of my books. I have written on subjects ranging from arts to topography, for the Times, Sunday Telegraph, Economist, Daily Mail, Spectator, Literary Review, Irish Times, Country Life, New Welsh Review, Chronicles, Modern Age, University Bookman, The Agonist, The Lady, Spectator Australia, Quadrant, Spiked and others. I also accept blame for three novels – A Modern Journey, Displacement, Sea Changes, with two more in search of publishers. I’m flexible, but my main areas of interest can be summed up as English literature, British topography, European culture and history, ecology, folklore, and current affairs.
I lurk in what was one of the obscurest Anglo-Saxon kingdoms, but can often be run to earth at kingdomoflindsey[at]gmail.com
I’m on Twitter too – @DerekTurner1964
good to see this Derek, i’ll investigate further when i’ve more time on the pc. at present i’m having a digital love affair with Titania Mcgrath.
How I love the self-deprecator!
I look forward to reading more from your pen (metaphorically speaking, of course).
Glad to find your site. Miss the old “Right Now!” days. Sad to see Allan Robertson is no longer with us.
Just now looked you up to see what you’re up to, and I see you’re putting out novels.
* Would still be chuffed to meet up again some time! — am now living out in the sticks (scenic very hilly Yorkshire gritstone land with lots of tress) having taken over the family home. You’d be welcome to visit / stay.
That would be great, Steve. As soon as the current nonsense is over (assuming we survive, of course!) we’ll sort out a state visitation. There haven’t been any novels recently, but one’s with my agent, and another’s nearing completion. I look forward to hearing what you’re doing. Send a message via Facebook
Morning Derek,
