At the beginning of this year, I had already begun to write my latest story. It had been on my mind for a while, and in my head at least, I had the bones of it already in place. That’s when everything started to conspire against me. Pain, paralysis and much confusion landed, and this…

I read an article the other day about how writers limit themselves to writing a best seller. I thought this was an odd thing to say, for that’s what we all want, isn’t it? As the writer explained, we don’t learn any other skills that way. “Successful authors practice.” Most of us read other books…

‘The perfect book to curl up with, whether beach or fireside. I absolutely loved it!’ Celia Anderson Book editor Lucy Thomas has just inherited her grandmother’s windswept Cornish home, and with it, a library bathed in sunlight, a spiral staircase that leads to secrets, and a battered box filled with unfinished stories… To honour her…

I was busy going about all the daily jobs this morning, not a care in the world. Happy to be able to do anything, really. It was a when I stopped for a quick rest, that my mind had other ideas. First, it supplied me with a long list of things I should be doing…

While double-checking the work I’d done recently, I discovered not one but two reviews I’d written and somehow never posted. This showed me how far I have fallen off the efficiency wagon, and I cannot apologize enough to the writers concerned.

There are bright blue skies and sunshine today, a pleasant surprise after so many grey and miserable days.#I slipped on my flip flops and ventured outside, hoping for some signs of Spring.
