When I started the new book I knew that there were going to be limited characters but as it progressed I found that my characters dwindled to only one... In truth I only started out with two, but pretty soon I was down to my heroine. Except that the scene I anticipated getting over and… Continue reading Internal rambling…

Autumn is here and I’m playing Russian roulette
I can tell autumn is here because the leaves are changing. They are turning from green to brown and red. Falling to the ground they are creating that carpet I used to love as a child, the one that you can walk through and hear. That crunch and crackle that would echo around the pavement… Continue reading Autumn is here and I’m playing Russian roulette
An Interesting Night…
It started with my laptop saying that there was a problem with my cloud. The same cloud that was holding my new book safe. I think panic set in and I froze. It was a good job as well, as the computer created a window asking if I wanted to upload the 'new' version of… Continue reading An Interesting Night…
Body Dysmorphia…
I have it. I guess it stems from when I really was the size of half a car... Now I'm a slender reed in comparison but I still see that me; the one that turned sideways to get through doors and had to squeeze into car seats. The me that dreaded going to garden parties… Continue reading Body Dysmorphia…
Galleries are full…
I have barely been in over the last few days. Between putting up exhibitions and seeing friends I have driven over 400 miles and since Friday I've been on the road. Now, after a session in the gym, I am tired. But as this is the first time I've managed to get in the workshop I need… Continue reading Galleries are full…
Another Zombie Day…
Should have known when I got out of bed with a... UGH! I shuffle to the bathroom with my arms hanging slack at my sides. "Did you sleep well?" Mum calls joyfully. "Ugh.... Um..." "That's good." Nothing phases mum. I look in the mirror and a face that is too pale stares back. Reaching one… Continue reading Another Zombie Day…
The opening of the new book – Nomura
This is the unedited version... And it is a WIP so it will probably change but I thought I'd give you a sneak peek on the next project. Nomura 1. I watch the horizon and try to see the point where the sea turns into the sky. Sometimes it is a crystal line, as if… Continue reading The opening of the new book – Nomura
A social evening…
Most people will tell you that I'm not really much of a party animal, and they'd be right. When I was a young sprightly youth I did the raves and the nightclubs, but now I'm more about the conversation and the people I'm with. Not so much the dancing and the beat. So last night… Continue reading A social evening…
A new business….
Well, I've gone and done it now... I've only opened my own press. Yes, I have become an independent book publisher. So scary and really exciting... So the website.... Wooden Bridge Press or WBP And... the imprint - The Moonlit Bridge is open for book submissions, both for fiction and non-fiction. Spread the word! I'm… Continue reading A new business….
Good news!
I mean - massively good news. I know that if you have been with me from the start [of this blog] you will all know that I have an eye issue. Basically, I'm so short sighted that my right eye has a squint, and a blow to my head could result in a detached retina… Continue reading Good news!
