Books In Sync Recognizes Author MD Blackburn
M D Blackburn began putting pen to paper in March 2009, having never written before. He often wonders where the words come from. He now writes short personalized stories, poems, religious and political comments, autobiographies, sports reports, and..
He was educated mostly at Bridge Road Junior School, with a little added at Wyggeston Grammar School for Boys, hence the lack of sexual education, except when the last eleven pages of Lady Chatterley's Lover landed in his lap. His basic education was completed in 1959 at Leicester College of Art and Technology.
He started two businesses in 1960: marriage and heating and ventilation. The marriage is still huffing and puffing along, the H&V he was forcibly retired from by a third heart attack in December 2006.
Thus in March 2009, after further holidays in Leicester General Hospital, he began writing books: short stories, poems and descriptive commentaries. Human Nature is the latest testimony to his work. There are many more books in the pipeline, some partly written, some in note form - others are still ideas. There are many other subjects he has yet to confront in his home, surrounding gardens and the canal at the bottom of the garden.
M D Blackburn began putting pen to paper in March 2009, having never written before. He often wonders where the words come from. He now writes short personalized stories, poems, religious and political comments, autobiographies, sports reports, and joke books. He ranges from poetry to prose as he ponders life's past experiences, taking the reader back into a time when life was simple. He examines his own childhood and encourages readers to explore their own nostalgia. His poetry and prose are intended to hold up a mirror. Readers may see themselves in his words and feel a ripple of surprise when they see where life's path has led. His work is enjoyed by readers in the UK, America and New Zealand.
Read on, question your own perceptions, find yourself... and, most of all, enjoy.

The Bowling Detective by Michael D. Blackburn
The Bowling Detective Review: I really liked the division of the tale (into Part 1, and Part 2), and the "list of characters" at the start (like what you'd find in a play). It added to the realism in terms of the presentation of the story (the introduction is written in a slightly conversational tone, which leads the reader into the story). I think the way the story is presented reflects a consideration on the part of the author (that is part of his style, as a writer).
I thought the opening with the "enforced rest" as a result of "heart attack number 2" was funny too (in a not-so-funny-if-it's-happening-to-you kind of way), ha ha. Liked the name choice of "Mick" too, immediately associated it with the swagger of Mick Jagger. The descriptions are quite vivid, and definitely not too flowery [no strange descriptions of comparing the color of the sky to cat vomit, or dark chocolate, for instance (two real examples from two bestselling novels!)]...just a murder story nicely paced, and nicely told.
