I find it odd how confidence wax and wane. It reminds me of the sea, sometimes the tide is in, and you bounce with laughter, while other times it is out, and you can barely drag yourself through the day. For me these tides are affected by those around me, just like the moon dictates… Continue reading Confidence…

Because today is a sad day…
I was saddened to read that Cecil had died... That he had been hunted and killed. The problem is that it wasn't done because he was a problem, or a killer, or that he had done anything other than be a successful lion. Instead, he was killed simply because he was a lion. Maybe the… Continue reading Because today is a sad day…
What must it be like?
Today I found myself wondering what it is like not to live without a mental disability. The last few days have been tough for me. My wonderful concoction of problems have been raising their heads and looking around. This means that I have found myself making silly mistakes, falling over and not wanting to socialise.… Continue reading What must it be like?
Published…!
That was quick... And just like a bus you really wanted, both books have hit the shops at the same time. First there is 'Truth and Lies' Mary marries a man picked by her mother, a marriage of convenience, yet sixteen years later she realises that she has to run. Except when she gets home… Continue reading Published…!
Thinking…
I have been thinking about writing a bit of poetry. It isn't my forte but lately I have been feeling the urge... At the same time there has been an opportunity to write some screenplays. That isn't my comfort zone at all. So I guess for the next week or so I'm going to step… Continue reading Thinking…
Missing The Gone…
No, really, I'm missing writing a serialised novel, but at the same time I'm reveling in the freedom of being able to write what I want, when I want. Still I miss the set pattern. It almost feels as if a part of my routine is missing. So, what do I do? Do I write… Continue reading Missing The Gone…
The Gone is almost there…
Yes, the proof has arrived and in the next few days the alterations should be done... Then it will be ready and in the shops. But first that editing...
New experiences…
I told myself that this year was all about new experiences, and so far I've stuck to my guns and tried new stuff. So, when a week ago, a friend asked if I wanted to go clay pigeon shooting I said yes. This morning I donned a pair of jeans and a floaty top (I… Continue reading New experiences…
Writer’s block
Except it wasn't really... I mean I finished 'The Gone' and then I dithered. In fact I've been dithering for over a week. I haven't been lazy, I've edited 'The Gone', 'Truth and Lies' and 'Here be Dragons' (that's a middle grade book for kids). But new projects have been stuck. I have a pile… Continue reading Writer’s block
Rainbows!
My computer has gone rainbow multicoloured. Even my Facebook profile has a rainbow filter, and it just makes me smile. Now more people can love with no worry of recrimination. Well, at least in 50 states. And that makes me smile. I went to the hospital yesterday to get a scan and luckily everything is… Continue reading Rainbows!
