http://carolmckay.co.uk/reviews-and-features
Part of my working life is spent reading novels and life-writing. It’s a hard life. The books arrive through my letterbox, I curl up with a whisky and crisps (or maybe some rich dark chocolate) and lose myself for hours in someone else’s creative imagination. Lovely!

Won the inaugural Booktown Writers. 8216; Short Story Competition in 2012.

Carol McKay: Reviewing, translating, and Booktrust
http://carolmckay.blogspot.com/2013/06/reviewing-translating-and-booktrust.html
Thursday, 20 June 2013. Reviewing, translating, and Booktrust. Book Reviewing for Booktrust. In the last six or seven months, I've been reviewing fiction for Booktrust, and this has been one of the most fulfilling things I've done in recent years because it's given me a succession of first rate novels to read, by top literary authors. Here's a list of some:. Jane Rogers Hitting Trees With Sticks. Andrew Cowan Worthless Men. Maggie O'Farrell Instructions for a Heatwave. Nine days to translate twenty-seven...

Wednesday, 29 August 2012. What's in a name? In the world of big business, no two companies would be allowed to use the same name. Branding is that important. Is it different in publishing? I'm not likely to try to take someone to court for using the same name as me, even though I did get there first! English language publishing has a global sweep and surely there must be some name overlap? 7 September 2012 at 18:07. You might consider adding your middle initial to avoid the confusion. Welcome to my blog.
Carol McKay: Third of June
http://carolmckay.blogspot.com/2013/06/it-was-third-of-june-memory-nostalgia.html
Tuesday, 4 June 2013. It was the third of June. Memory, nostalgia and a celebration of life. Maybe it's my Scottish-Irish bloodline, but for some reason, most of my fiction could be classed as 'sad'. A friend said to me, after reading Ordinary Domestic: collected short stories. Could you not write something happy? And Jane Rogers' Hitting Trees with Sticks. The 'literary' writer is trying to make sense of existence. There's that phrase that's bandied around - 'the human condition'. It concerns th...Yeste...

http://carolmckay.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Saturday, 19 May 2012. End of an era. Of sorts. Eight years ago, in April 2004, I was taken on by The Open University to teach their innovative new module A174 'Start Writing Fiction'. It was innovative in that it was delivered completely online and because it was the OU's first foray into teaching creative writing at undergraduate level. I still hear people say, 'Can creative writing be taught? As for me, I'm still going to be teaching on the OU's second level creative writing module, A215. A longer...

Monday, 5 September 2011. What I did on my holidays. Did we have a summer this year? Possibly not. Though my garden did produce a knee-high volume of grass, docks and buttercups so I guess we must have. Craggy landscape, Northern Ireland, 2011. Shows No one turned up for a public meeting about that so I guess the flags might be statement enough for many. Enough on that from me. Carol looking awkward at Bellanurly, Co. Sligo.

Tuesday, 10 April 2012. Further to my last post, I've been doing some further reading and deeper thinking about the e-book revolution. I'm so pleased that my partner, Keith, has set up The PotHole Press. These are people - be they independent writers or small publishers - who invest their time and energy and also, often, money, because they have an ambition to see writing they believe in made available for the public to read. Who am I, then, to deny them the right or to castigate them for doing it? Well,...

I'm not likely to try to take someone to court for using the same name as me, even though I did get there first!

Even as recently as the 1990s, cell phone ownership was rare. Only a select few individuals had them. Someone talking on a phone in a store, restaurant or in a car was unexpected.
