I once had a friend in university. The first I went to, so this would have been Derby. I lived on the top floor and pretty much was scared out of my wits. I mean I had never been away from home and there I was in a flat surrounded by strangers, sharing a bathroom… Continue reading Crossing

Gone
I am writing about the Gone... It is the name of my series of books. Yes, it is a zombie-type horror but it is also about humour, friendship and love. I question who the monsters are. Are they the mindless creatures that wonder the world, locked in never-ending hunger or are they the people out… Continue reading Gone
Interior
My workshop has been a mess. I mean an unworkable nightmare... It is long and narrow, about 9 feet by 19 feet. In truth it was made to take sewing machines back when I ran a soft toy manufacturing business. It was never meant to become a writing and art workshop, but that is exactly… Continue reading Interior
Year
Oh man, I shouldn't be writing... I'm two whiskey's in and waiting for a top up. My New Years is never on New Years Eve but is everything to do with New Years Day. That is when family turn up and I get to have a tipple or two. This is the day that puts… Continue reading Year
Day 1 – 2017
I wondered about writing a post a day... But I know that I will be hard put to keep it up. Life gets in the way something rotten. I also get caught up in all sorts of things. But I will see what I can do. You never know I might be able to... But… Continue reading Day 1 – 2017
Hopeful
It's the last day of 2016 and it has been one of highs and lows. I have been so happy that I felt like I could float and at the same time I have been so down and fearful that the world has almost crushed me. It has been a year of extremes. I guess… Continue reading Hopeful
Mope
I try not to. I hate to mope. But I am a perfectionist. And the result is that I can do a drawing and then mope about it for ages because I think it isn't good enough. It happens with the writing as well. I have over 50 unfinished blogs because I thought they weren't… Continue reading Mope
Bounty
It has just turned into Christmas Day here, and at last I am relaxed. The mincemeat slices are made and the Christmas presents are wrapped and finished. I have just had a glass of Baileys and have ushered in the day with a grin. Really this last month has been hell but I am finding… Continue reading Bounty
Conundrum
Two sides to a story, two people stood opposite each other yelling their truth. Which do you believe? In the eyes of the law you are innocent until proven guilty, but what does that actually mean? What if the person in question is guilty but is found innocent? Does the victim immediately stop being a… Continue reading Conundrum
Flee
Have you ever had something happen to you that makes you so scared that you ignore the situation? I mean, so bad that it just can't be analysed. You can't think about it. Even though you are still in the situation it is as if your whole being shuts down. Perhaps if you look in… Continue reading Flee
