Those of you who have been following me for a while might remember that back in December two of my short pieces "Lucy" and "Pray to the Moon" were published in the Independent Author Index Compilation #2. Due to various issues, the IAI compilations have been reformatted, with some poorer quality stories removed, and some … Continue reading A change to the Independent Author Index Compilations

Writing with one arm, and a Review – The Astrologer by Scott G F Bailey
I've done something to my arm. My left arm, thank goodness, not my right (I'm right-handed). Pinched a nerve is my guess - all I know is it aches almost constantly (the only time it doesn't is when the rest of my body is in an incredibly awkward position!) and if I move it in … Continue reading Writing with one arm, and a Review – The Astrologer by Scott G F Bailey

The ABNA (Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award) results for Round 2 have been announced.

A Fresh Start
I've never seen such fog, in the middle of summer no less, the temperature still high, just knowing later in the day it's going to be hot, hot, hot. Usually fog so thick sees me with frozen fingertips, wrapped in many layers of clothes. And the stillness this morning! We were running a little late-there … Continue reading A Fresh Start
A Perfect Place for Surprises
I wanted to show you my favouritist place in the whole world! (yes, I know favouritist isn't a word lol - but it needed to be emphasised here) This is The Paddocks (not quite it's real name, but we can't have everyone flooding the place!). I've been here about half a dozen times since my … Continue reading A Perfect Place for Surprises
