My debut novel On the Holloway Road (Legend Press, February 2009) won the Luke Bitmead Writers' Bursary and was shortlisted for the Dundee International Book Prize.
It tells the story of two young Londoners who, inspired by Jack Kerouac's Beat classic On the Road, embark on a similar search for meaning and freedom in modern-day Britain. 
Hi Andrew! Thanks for the comment yesterday and for linking to my post! I’m always pleased to meet other writers and I look forward to following your blog. Have a great week! – Georgina
This is what I’ve been doing all week, thus having spent a lot less time blogging. Thanks for this week’s inspiring thought.
I’ve totally passed up the morning thing… but here’s Monday evening inspiration.
No one ever committed suicide while reading a book, but many have tried while trying to write one.

Sorry people, haven’t been online much this week.
Georgina, good to see you stopping by. I thought it was a really thought-provoking post, so no thanks required – as I said, it was for my benefit, so I can find it again!
Claire, very glad to hear it. I wondered where you’d been – normally you’re so prolific! Didn’t want to ask, though. Good to see you back again, hopefully refreshed!
Lady Glamis, that’s a great quote – not sure if suicide strictly qualifies as inspirational, but it made me laugh so I guess that works
