Writing musings

Sorry to hear about the death of Dick Francis.  Maybe not a critics favourite, he certainly was the readers favourite.  Including me and my dad.

My dad loved watching horse racing on the tv and you could always tell if he'd had a bet and which horse he'd bet on!  Reading Dick Francis gave him a lot of pleasure especially after he'd seen him riding.

As writers what's to learn from Francis the author?

Pace.  Great pace in his books.
