Now it Begins!
When we made the decision the other week to re-edit and re-cover ALL of our books, we must have been out of our tiny minds. I double checked, and it would seem that we were super serious about all of it. Six of Anita’s books, three of mine, and two that we wrote together. I…

Time to Think Again!
A new week starts, a time when my enthusiasm usually renews itself, but there is a noticeable lack of ‘get up and go’. It was more like, ‘get your arse moving and see what you can muddle through this week!’ Last month’s USB failure, resulting in the loss of three weeks work, has left…

A Writer’s Bucket List
Like an ancient building, parts of me are wearing away, falling down or missing. My joints ache unbearably, and my head doesn’t work the way it used to. The eyesight is appalling and the memory almost non-existant. I have been ignoring the signs for a while now, adopting the attitude of just ignore it,…
