Hi everyone, This Monday, I’m taking you back to the 80’s for a bit of nostalgia. The Wraith was released in 1986. It’s kind of like a Fast and Furious film but with some supernatural leanings, a beautiful Dodge M4S, a thumping 80’s soundtrack and Randy Quaid instead of The Rock in the role of […]

Read more "G is for Gosforth"After talking about my favourite music for E, I thought I’d move on to one of my favourite authors. Frank Herbert was born in Tacoma, Washington on October 8th, 1920. He left home at the age of 18, going to live with his aunt and uncle in Oregon. After graduating from High School, he took […]
