Fire in the soil

April 30, 2014 Kate23 Comments

I don't blog much about my vegetable patch, although I have a third of an acre that I work on. But earlier this year, despite the bad weather, we had a disaster... No chilies. Although that is a bit of a lie, we had one. Sweet peppers we have masses of them but the hot… Continue reading Fire in the soil

Dyslexia and novel writing

April 29, 2014 Kate3 Comments

I have been having dyslexic problems. Most of the time it is there in the background, just sitting and not doing anything much. I know my limits and I live within them. But I am trying to make a living writing. Now I can write small stuff - the short story is my favourite form… Continue reading Dyslexia and novel writing

Puppy Love

April 29, 2014April 29, 2014 Kate12 Comments

"Are you sure you want to take him?" I look at Mum and smile. "Yeah, without him I might not sleep." In my hands is a soft toy, a dog. It is floppy and almost flat and looks more like a cushion as opposed to a toy, but he has been my companion for eight years,… Continue reading Puppy Love

Parties

April 27, 2014April 27, 2014 Kate13 Comments

Have you ever seen 'The Sixth Sense'? Well, there is a party in it. This is how I used to feel as a child when I got the invites (not the ghost bit but the party). I'm sure that I was invited because the whole class was, and to leave me off would be too… Continue reading Parties

Appearances

April 25, 2014 Kate3 Comments

"So where you from?" The girl in front of me asks. "Midlands," I say. I'm so nervous that I'm almost shaking. Luckily she hasn't noticed. This girl is my new neighbour and I'm not sure she and I are going to get on. Not in the least is the simple fact she is sucking on… Continue reading Appearances

Beer Bottle Tops

April 24, 2014 Kate1 Comment

It started with beer bottle tops. You remember, they were all the rage in the eighties. Every teenager was wearing them. I forget which idol started it, maybe Bros? Maybe not... Anyway, I went into school and laughed. "What are they?" I said, pointing at a friends shoes. "Fashion," she snapped back and turned away.… Continue reading Beer Bottle Tops

Dust in the Wind

April 20, 2014 Kate3 Comments

The daily prompt has asked what I want to do before I die? And my answer has to be - I don't know. Six months ago I'd never have thought I'd end up sitting at a computer and writing a blog having had one book published and two deadlines for another two. Yet, here I… Continue reading Dust in the Wind
