The world is built on it... My life is built on it... I tried to explain it to someone the other day. Every relationship I have I trust, either for them to be friends or more. I lived in the Midlands during the 70's and right the way through to the 90's. In 2000 I… Continue reading Trust

Subdued
My personality is a little subdued, at least some of the time. I take pleasure in the small stuff; creating a good sentence or having the wind in my face. Sure I can be bubbly and over the top but it isn't the everyday me. I can hold the bubbly Kate for a good day,… Continue reading Subdued
Clumsy
I am super clumsy... I have a condition called dyspraxia and one of it's many quirks is that I can't balance. Not at all. When I was eleven it took my mum six months to teach me how to balance on a bike. We were living in a large town at the time and on… Continue reading Clumsy
Promises
We all make them. Sometimes they are small ones... That we will promise to say hi to someone we next see and other times they are huge. I try not to make many. I hate not being able to follow through with them. But at the same time I am a great advocate of promises.… Continue reading Promises
Realise
Today I realised that I got to be happy with the now and not worry about the future so much. And I do worry about the future. I worry that the art will be a failure, that the books won't sell and that I will be a pauper... Now that is all just silly. The… Continue reading Realise
Tree
You know I once knew a woodsman... A guy who owned a husky and worked in the woods. In fact, as far as I know he is still there. I was doing a load of courses at a place called Denmark Farm and one of those courses was to create a composting loo. Why? I… Continue reading Tree
Breakthrough
I did the book fair... I shook to about noon and then after that I settled a little. It is strange to be in a place filled by readers. They were all looking for books and they want to talk to you... I loved talking to the kids. Telling them about the story-lines and the main… Continue reading Breakthrough

Tomorrow I am at a book fair and it is going to be a stressful one for me. Due to the way things lie I am going to be going alone. This will be my first book fair i have done on my own and I'm stressing big time. It's going to be easy -… Continue reading Nerves…
Test
I had an experiment yesterday. About three months ago I bought Wacom tablet and moved into the world of digital art. I tried looking for a style and then I found something I loved doing. Something that not many artists do. The odd thing is that it is an exact copy of my drawing technique. Maybe… Continue reading Test
Facade
I get depressed sometimes. Normally just as the bills come in but it is a quick fleeting thing and then I am back in the world of art or buried in the latest book I'm writing. It never lasts more than a week until something happens that will bring me out of it. It can… Continue reading Facade
