I seem to have spent my life having to change. So many times, due to ever changing circumstances, have caused me to rethink who I am, and how I want to be in the future. As much as I am used to making these changes, this past year has been something else. I have had…

I was thinking back to when I started writing Swan Song, my latest detective mystery, and how it was supposed to answer all the questions I had at the time. That by sorting out the problems my detective, David Snow had, I would probably sort my own. We were both fast approaching our own swan…

This week has been full of ups and downs, and some of the downs have been spectacularly bad. After everything I have had to put up with the past year, I thought I had beaten the miseries, but it turns out I am human after all. But enough about that… I have been doing some…

For a long time now, I have been searching my barely functioning brain for any inspiration that always used to be lurking in there somewhere. This may or not be a good idea, as the pressure in my head gets worse every day, but it’s what I need to find, so it will just have…

a sunny hospital corridor… I had no idea what to expect at yesterday’s hospital appointment. I mean, they had already written me off, hadn’t they? Too old, too frail, not fit enough for surgery… All of my misgivings magically vanished the minute the doctor welcomed me into his office. He was a short, cheerful man,…

For several weeks now, I have not been able to galvanise myself to do anything much. For some reason, my enthusiasm and also my duty of care has been missing. My brain has been trying to opt out of any enthusiasm for anything, and I have hated every minute. This has been a strange state…

I have never liked waiting, so faced with yet another wait, I am more confused than ever. Half of me would love to have a good think, to sort out the muddle in my head. And to be honest, I have tried to think it out. But whatever is going on inside my head, it…

I didn’t think my life could get any worse, but I couldn’t have been more wrong. Since I collapsed, semi-paralysed last March, I have often wondered why that happened and why I had suddenly become so weak. Despite my colourful medical history, I have always managed to bounce back from some of the worst health…

When I was told that I wasn’t fit enough for surgery, I didn’t know what to think. When I got over the shock, my first thought was, I can get fit, no problem. I just have to exercise more. I ended up fretting about this so much that the more I searched for a way…

I was really looking forward to the start of a new week and hopefully a better week. The sun was shining this morning, so I thought I was in with a chance. A chance to finally reach the bottom of the pile of jobs that has been slowly growing. I wasn’t sure if it was…
