No Man’s Land…
—
by
Although I have been making good headway with my latest mystery thriller, it has come to my attention that I may not be around to actually finish it. A morbid thought, and I have no real idea where it came from, as I intend to finish it, one way or another. Ever since I was…

Slip, slip, sliding…

I nearly gave up yesterday. Giving up the struggle suddenly seemed like a very good idea. When it was just the pain in my back and knees that I had to cope with was bad enough. Add the new problems with my head into the mix, and everything seemed futile. Managing my exercise regime was…

Didn’t see that coming!

Didn’t see that coming! The long-awaited appointment to check out these awful headaches and earaches finally arrived, but I wasn’t ready for what happened next.

75 years ago, I read an illustrated copy of Jane Eyre. I was eight years old and fascinated by the haunting drawings and the story itself. A sad, complicated story that gave me nightmares. I spent my childhood trying to escape from a miserable childhood, reading everything I could get my hands on. The story…

The Darker side of me…

by
The Darker side of me… I never knew I had a dark side, not really. I do remember having these small snarky feelings when I was a child, towards the latest person to tick me off or stand me in the corner. I am a good-natured person, I have found that life is usually better…

Another Day from Hell…

by
Yesterday turned out to be a nightmare. From the moment I staggered across the office to my Windows PC, everything I touched went wrong, failed to load, or couldn’t be found. I am not a lover of technology, but as long as it does what it says on the tin, I can usually cope well…

The minute I opened my eyes this morning, I knew what had been bothering me for some time now. I had been wondering why everything seems so different these days. This year has been a nightmare for me, but I never once thought it might be me who ended up changing. When this thought occurred…
