I started 2025 as the person I thought I knew, warts and all, familiar, but someone I thought I could trust. Life wasn’t easy, but it seemed doable. Then, all of a sudden, it wasn’t doable any more. Thinking back to the beginning of my troubles, when my legs stopped trying to move, I realise…

Yesterday morning was one of the worst mornings I have had since this miserable situation began in March of this year. I awoke with tears in my eyes, tears I could not stop for almost an hour.

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…

There was I, finally getting to grips with the current WIP, when this idea came along and settled in my head. I tried hard to ignore it, as it seemed a bit complicated. I thought it could be something to consider after I finish Swan Song. Try as I might to ignore it, it would…

in life as an author

This meme really added to the confusion in my head. I have been struggling with memories of how I was, compared to how I am now, and not enjoying the process. Trying to be sensible, I do know that my life will never be the same again, and most of the time, that is a…

Detective Inspector David Snow… My office doesn’t look much like an office these days, what with catering to my suffering body, so I was very surprised when a familiar face appeared around the door. ‘Hi, Jaye. I thought I would pop in to see how you are. I heard the news and couldn’t believe…

Yesterday was my 81st birthday. This has rapidly become my 18th, thanks to my family’s sense of humour. I like the sound of that so hopefully it will stick! The family arrived just after lunch, filling the house with excited chatter and laughter. Add in the antics of a very cheeky one year old and…
