I have had a short story published by Ether Books... (Just click on the cover below.) It is a horror/crime so expect a massive twist at the end. All you have to view it, is download the app to your phone or tablet. Thanks and Enjoy. 🙂

To Plan or be Spontaneous
When I write - do I plan or am I spontaneous? Can I answer a bit of both? Possible not. The problem is that my ideas are spontaneous, usually from a prompt of a word, colour or even a smell. But the writing is planned. This is one of the ways that my dyslexia really… Continue reading To Plan or be Spontaneous
My Favourite Film Character
Last night I saw 'The Life of Pi' and I really liked it. I had thought at the time that it would be difficult to adapt a literary book into a movie but it was done effortlessly. I was left smiling and thinking - "Oh! Now I get it!" And I agree with the writer… Continue reading My Favourite Film Character
Aspirations
You know I had to look this word up - don't get me wrong I knew it but I just didn't 'know' exactly what it meant. So now I know that it is what I want for my future - or rather what are my dreams, even if they are unrealistic... So here are my… Continue reading Aspirations
Why I write
Well, if you look at my record you would think it is for the rejection letters and emails! I don't like them but every writer has to cope with them. The submissions I hate are the ones that don't send anything - there is just - silence. You are stuck as a writer in limbo,… Continue reading Why I write
A Challenge
I have been thinking about doing another challenge. You may have noticed that I dropped the ball on the loglines last month. This was because I was up to my eyeballs in work. But this month I really wanted to look at the reason I got into writing. And Michelle Goode has issued a challenge… Continue reading A Challenge
Quote
I don't normally share these but this one I liked and totally understand. Is it just me of do your character seem real? Most of the time as I write I don't even know how they are going to react until I've put them in the situation. And more often than not they take me… Continue reading Quote
Family and writing
I was reading the latest Myslexia and in there is an article suggesting that you have to be brave in order to write about your family. Now I thought that this would mean only autobiography and biography books, but no - they look at all books. We are taught that we must write what we… Continue reading Family and writing
Published in an anthology
The book in question is The Busker anthology compiled by What the Dickens. I have a short story in there and am over the moon. The last few days have been a little trying and this has just made me smile. My story is "A fur coat, a guitar and a song" and is about… Continue reading Published in an anthology
Workshops and teaching
I took my first class. It was nerve racking. I mean I hadn't slept the night before and I turned up early only to find that the door was locked. Now I know that Trinity St David is the smallest university, but this had been part of the old building. It is beautiful but I… Continue reading Workshops and teaching
