THE MAC LOGAN CERTIFICATION TO THRILL PRESENTS: I'VE BEEN KNOWN TO LIVE DANGEROUSLY WITH MY CREATIVE EXPRESSION. AND GUESS WHAT? I WILL CONTINUE TO RAISE THAT BAR. NO MATTER WHAT.
HELLO EVERYONE,
I hope everyone's OK
My apologies for mistaking Tom Hiddleston for Tom Hollander on my Facebook account. My sincere apologies.
Tom Hiddleston is brilliant as the fictional secret agent named Jonathan Pine in the BBC series The Night Manager. Pine's stronger embodiment as a character is aligned with his persona as an imposter spy figure. It makes him quite unique. Pine reminds me of another fictional spy, Gregory Sallust, created by Dennis Wheatley.
However, I'm not the only one who makes such mistakes. After all, another writer called the Tom Hiddleston character 'Christopher Pine' instead of 'Jonathan Pine'. Anyway, there are simply no reasons for making such mistakes. However, the mind can be thinking about a thousand and one things.
Some might attribute this to a mental block or simply a mere mental incapacity. Nothing strange these days. But let's drop the negativity straitjacket because it's not part of my framework.
I’ve been known to take risks with my craft. I follow in the footsteps of Michael Jackson and the PSQUARE duo, consisting of PSQUARE and RUDEBOY. Their songs and the narratives behind their writing reflect a pursuit of excellence. Their craft is connected to a universal language that reveals the intricacies of society. The result is fresh and exciting music.
I'm sure many American and African music superstars are sailing on the same ship, along with authors like Lee Child, Scott Blade, Matt Hilton, and Walter Mosley, to name just a few. These well-known authors share similar journeys in their respective writing genres.
I love the way I gravitate towards my way of telling local crime fiction stories. It's all part of a magical process when creating a masterpiece or a series of books. That's why I can relate to the beautiful storytelling of the LE CARRE spy books and the characters in the Jonathan Pine universe. I must say this, though: The Night Manager's archnemesis, Roper, gives me the jitters. He probably could be a noteworthy adversary for the likes of Star Wars' DARTH VADER. He has those chilling qualities.
When creating and adapting stories, you have to take favourable risks and, most importantly, research them as well. It helps to boost one's confidence and highlights one's experiences. And, it makes you stand out.
That's why I plan to embark on a quest to help others and learn more about myself, drawing on my experience as a local crime fiction author and self-publishing advocate. It's going to be quite the adventure.
This starts with highlighting the second free adventure writing session on the 28th of February 2026 at Walthamstow Central Library, E17 7JN. I've got some knowledge to share and goodies to give away. Come ONE. Come ALL on that date because the session will be another exciting event. On that note, I bid you farewell. One more thing. WATCH OUT FOR THE RATTLESNAKE. HE WILL RETURN.
STAY SAFE!
