Fingers to the Keyboard: 2019 - 2020 (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Once again, it is time to collect the last two years' worth of posts on my blogging website and publish as a coherent series of finger-to-the-keyboard articles. In this 2019 2020 collection, you will find old favourites such as film and book reviews; details of the books I published during the 2-year period (five new and two earlier ebooks updated and republished as paperbacks); several explorations of the power of words covering topics such as the hidden reincarnations in anagrams, the problems posed by using gender-free pronouns to represent transgender and non-binary characters in a story, and a guest post exploring neologisms formed by removing prefixes for example, gruntle (from disgruntle) and chalant (from nonchalant); and, of course, my usual disrespectful comments on members of the British Royal family!
New topics include articles on global warming and climate change, Brexit, the Covid-19 pandemic and, as a special one-off, a series of poems highlighting the nomadic world-wide travels of my son, Mark, and his wife, Kirsty.
To round off the book, there are also a variety of miscellaneous articles covering topics as diverse as not-so-smart smart motorways, poo donors, apple and baked bean soup, why pixies don't wear hearing aids, happy-to-chat park benches, the art of tying shoelaces, and many other interesting off-beat and often humorous subjects.

Autorenporträt

After retiring in December 2007 from a busy career as a consultant electronics engineer, I took up walking long-distance trails both in my home country (UK) and in other places such the Himalaya in Nepal, the Sierra Nevada in Spain, and the levadas in Madeira. These activities kept me physically fit. To stay mentally fit, I started a blog (https://ben-bennetts.com) and began writing books. To date (February 2021), I've published twenty-one books on topics as diverse as religion, winemaking, an erotic novel (using the pseudonym, J C Pascoe), two storybooks for children, various autobiographies, idiosyncrasies of the English language, long-distance walking, keeping fit as we age, how to create and self-publish either an ebook or a paperback book, a book of cartoons, and a series of blog collections. You can read more about the books on my website, ben-bennetts.com/books. The books are available as e-books on www.smashwords.com and in Amazon's Kindle Store.
