I haven’t literally been grabbed by the balls since… well, for a very long time. Thankfully, I haven’t pissed any woman off enough for them to want to do that to me (and ladies, there’s not much worse you can do to a man to punish him than abuse his balls – ain’t that the truth). But what I’m talking about here is a story idea. A new story idea has...]]></description><link>http://www.zootoday.com/marcnobbs/archive/2009/12/16/grabbed-by-the-balls.htm</link><pubDate>Wed, 16 Dec 2009 22:21:38 +0000</pubDate><guid>http://www.zootoday.com/marcnobbs/archive/2009/12/16/grabbed-by-the-balls.htm</guid><category domain="http://www.zootoday.com/marcnobbs/weblogCategory/1hrqmz2x8qvnt">General</category></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Morning after the Night Before]]></title><description><![CDATA[So, how do we all think that young Joe McElderry is feeling this morning having won Britain's biggest talent contest? Pretty good, I’d wager. Shocked? Certainly. Terrified of what’s to come? Probably. But pretty good nonetheless.<BR/><BR/>

The real winner last night though was, of course, Simon Cowell. Ten million phone votes at 35p a call? That’s… a lot. £3.5million. For those of you on the...]]></description><link>http://www.zootoday.com/marcnobbs/archive/2009/12/14/the-morning-after-the-night-before.htm</link><pubDate>Mon, 14 Dec 2009 12:25:07 +0000</pubDate><guid>http://www.zootoday.com/marcnobbs/archive/2009/12/14/the-morning-after-the-night-before.htm</guid><category domain="http://www.zootoday.com/marcnobbs/weblogCategory/1hrqmz2x8qvnt">General</category></item><item><title><![CDATA[Changes Afoot]]></title><description><![CDATA[If you’re reading this on the Blogger or MySpace versions of this blog then you may have noticed a few changes. First off, those menu buttons at the top of the page have changed colour, being now an attractive shade of blue rather than dark grey. Also, the logo at the top of the page now reads “marcnobbs.co.uk” rather than “marcnobbs.com”.<BR/><BR/>

Yep, I’ve come over all patriotic and stuff....]]></description><link>http://www.zootoday.com/marcnobbs/archive/2009/12/11/changes-afoot.htm</link><pubDate>Fri, 11 Dec 2009 13:39:39 +0000</pubDate><guid>http://www.zootoday.com/marcnobbs/archive/2009/12/11/changes-afoot.htm</guid><category domain="http://www.zootoday.com/marcnobbs/weblogCategory/1hrqmz2x8qvnt">General</category></item><item><title><![CDATA[The AWARD WINNING "Kissed by a Rose"]]></title><description><![CDATA[Yes, it’s true. It’s True. Kissed by a Rose was been voted Erotic Novel of the Year for 2009 by the members of the Romance Erotica Connection.<BR/><BR/>

<BR/><BR/>

As you can imagine, I’m stoked. I’m also very humbled, this award is a great honour for someone like me. I’d like to thank everyone who took the time to vote for the book – as I’m sure would Adam and Chloe.<BR/><BR/>

In the real world, I think everyone agrees that you can’t ever get enough of a good thing (and sex is certainly a good thing – if you’re doing it right). No, I’m talking about sex in fiction. Is it possible to have too much sex in a novel.<BR/><BR/>

The reason I’m thinking about this is that recently, in a few things I’ve read, I’ve found myself...]]></description><link>http://www.zootoday.com/marcnobbs/archive/2009/12/01/is-there-such-a-thing-as--too-much--sex.htm</link><pubDate>Tue, 01 Dec 2009 13:47:17 +0000</pubDate><guid>http://www.zootoday.com/marcnobbs/archive/2009/12/01/is-there-such-a-thing-as--too-much--sex.htm</guid><category domain="http://www.zootoday.com/marcnobbs/weblogCategory/1hrqmz2x8qvnt">General</category></item><item><title><![CDATA[Two Big Announcements]]></title><description><![CDATA[Yesterday I received a very, very exciting e-mail which contained two huge pieces of news. I couldn’t say anything yesterday until I’d confirmed some of the details, but now I can make the following announcements.<BR/><BR/>

Firstly, Phaze Books have agreed to pick up my latest completed manuscript, Eternally & Evermore, for publication as an e-book in the summer of 2010. That’s all the info I...]]></description><link>http://www.zootoday.com/marcnobbs/archive/2009/11/25/two-big-announcements.htm</link><pubDate>Wed, 25 Nov 2009 20:39:24 +0000</pubDate><guid>http://www.zootoday.com/marcnobbs/archive/2009/11/25/two-big-announcements.htm</guid><category domain="http://www.zootoday.com/marcnobbs/weblogCategory/1hrqmz2x8qvnt">General</category></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ghosts of the Past]]></title><description><![CDATA[It’s an odd thing, but for the past few weeks I’ve seen several people around who have been the spitting image of an ex-girlfriend of mine. And, frankly, it’s freaking me out a little bit.<BR/><BR/>

The ex-girlfriend in question I met at university and we were ‘together’ for most of our time in Aber. We even went on a pretty special holiday to Disney World together. We had planned to get...]]></description><link>http://www.zootoday.com/marcnobbs/archive/2009/11/23/ghosts-of-the-past.htm</link><pubDate>Mon, 23 Nov 2009 11:28:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>http://www.zootoday.com/marcnobbs/archive/2009/11/23/ghosts-of-the-past.htm</guid><category domain="http://www.zootoday.com/marcnobbs/weblogCategory/1hrqmz2x8qvnt">General</category></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nice Week]]></title><description><![CDATA[I’ve had quite a nice week this week. I took some time off from work to spend with my son. Three days, just me and him doing father and son things. It has been very, very pleasant.<BR/><BR/>

Of course, it was difficult going back to work on Thursday – it always is when you go back after a holiday. But it could have been a lot worse, so I shouldn’t really complain.<BR/><BR/>

Thought you might enjoy my recounting it to you.<BR/><BR/>

For some unknown reason (I find reasons are often unknown in dreams) I was on a half day at work. But rather than enjoy the afternoon just chillin’ or shopping or what not, I returned to my old school for a Geography A level lesson. Which itself is odd since I didn’t do geography A level....]]></description><link>http://www.zootoday.com/marcnobbs/archive/2009/11/11/i-had-a-dream.htm</link><pubDate>Wed, 11 Nov 2009 20:32:07 +0000</pubDate><guid>http://www.zootoday.com/marcnobbs/archive/2009/11/11/i-had-a-dream.htm</guid><category domain="http://www.zootoday.com/marcnobbs/weblogCategory/1hrqmz2x8qvnt">General</category></item><item><title><![CDATA[Time to Push On]]></title><description><![CDATA[A few weeks ago I was quite euphoric as I formally turned in Eternally & Evermore for submission to Phaze. At the time I knew I really needed to kick on and get stuck into the next piece but, I suppose somewhat inevitably, I didn’t. I justified not cracking on by telling myself I deserved a bit of a break after finishing what is, I think, my best work to date.<BR/><BR/>

So it’s been a while...]]></description><link>http://www.zootoday.com/marcnobbs/archive/2009/11/06/time-to-push-on.htm</link><pubDate>Fri, 06 Nov 2009 16:49:05 +0000</pubDate><guid>http://www.zootoday.com/marcnobbs/archive/2009/11/06/time-to-push-on.htm</guid><category domain="http://www.zootoday.com/marcnobbs/weblogCategory/1hrqmz2x8qvnt">General</category></item></channel></rss>
