‘A journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step.’ Lao Tzu I made my first tweet the other day. I’d been resisting Twitter for a long while now, simply because I wasn’t sure what I’d have to contribute. But then a lovely post by Eilis Niamh (here) made me reconsider my position, asContinue reading “Spreading My Wings”

Twilit Sky
I took this photo a few evenings ago, at a woodland park near to home. I love this time of evening. When the sky is fresh and clear and striped with rainbow colours, the trees black against it. A small sliver of silver moon and the feeling of a day ending, the world settling aroundContinue reading “Twilit Sky”

Great, no pressure then.’ Alma Bevan didn’t mean to go on a quest. But when she disappears between two treesContinue reading “Published!”
Picture Perfect
In a past life, I used to work in advertising. I had a few different roles – print production, casting, photography producer, general dogsbody. One of the roles I held involved purchasing all stock photography for the large agency where I worked at the time, meaning I had to negotiate rights and usages for eachContinue reading “Picture Perfect”

But in the meantime, I thought I’d share the cover with you all. And here it is : Yay! WithContinue reading “Cover Reveal Time!”

A Mystery From The Sea
Last year, at the end of summer we went to Sligo, up in the northwest of Ireland. It was wonderful. We visited a fairy mountain and made a wish, walked through a landscape of stone monuments older than Stonehenge and stayed on the beach at a little hotel behind an ancient pub that served theContinue reading “A Mystery From The Sea”
Letting Go
I’ve had a few days away from my blog, mainly because I’ve been concentrating on setting up the manuscript for my book. I’m publishing through Createspace, the Amazon print-on-demand platform and, to be honest, it’s been pretty easy so far. I chose my size, downloaded a formatted template and started loading the text. I copiedContinue reading “Letting Go”
Heart Reflections
Over the half term holiday a couple of weeks ago, I went to Wales to visit family. They live just near Llangollen, a small town nestled in the arms of the mountains, the river rushing through its midst. The town hasn’t really changed since I was a small child, and I suppose hadn’t changed muchContinue reading “Heart Reflections”
