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…

Swan Song: Why I thought I wrote it… I heard this title somewhere, a long time ago, and it stuck in my mind. I was thinking it would be a good title for the new outing of my Detective David Snow. So I went ahead and started the outline for Swan Song. I even made…

Creating a post is taking longer than usual, so I found myself looking through the folder that holds some of my sister’s best poems. Always inspirational at the best of times, her poems were like a soothing balm this morning. I couldn’t choose which one, so you can enjoy them all, as I did… Always…
