I’ve just been down a tax wormhole this morning, so it’s nice to take a break and go for a wander. Today’s Wednesday Wander was selected at random – I opened IPhoto and went to the first place I saw, which is the old canal in Llangollen, North Wales. I’ve written about Llangollen before –Continue reading “Wednesday Wander – Llangollen Canal”

Empty Cup
I’ve been feeling a bit empty, words-wise, these last couple of days. It’s always how I feel when I finish a book, even if I have other ideas on the go. I welcome the feeling though, for it’s how I can tell that I’ve completed the story. I finished book three, Hills and Valleys, andContinue reading “Empty Cup”

Week End
Is it Saturday yet? This week has flown by, mainly because I’ve been working hard on my Hills and Valleys edit, with a massive push to finish today. I’m done except for typing up the changes, which is a big relief. It’s been a week of loss (Bowie, Alan Rickman and others), and of coldContinue reading “Week End”
Thursday Doors – Hatfield House
My door this week is from Hatfield House, not far from where I live. Hatfield House is the seat of the Marquess of Salisbury and, like most great houses in the UK, is partially open to the public. There are actually two houses on the site – The Old Palace of Hatfield and Hatfield House.Continue reading “Thursday Doors – Hatfield House”
Wednesday Wander – Lost Lagoon, Vancouver
Looking at this photo, would you believe it was taken in the heart of a large North American city? Sure, there are a few giveaways if you look closely – streetlights just visible through the distant trees, and a manmade fountain in the centre of the lake. This is Lost Lagoon, in Vancouver, Canada. OnceContinue reading “Wednesday Wander – Lost Lagoon, Vancouver”
Falling Star
Today is a funny sort of a day. The sun is shining (for the moment), it’s cold and the air feels fresh. Yet the world is diminished in some way. When an artist of Bowie’s magnitude, who touched so many lives for so many years, leaves this plane, you can almost feel the loss, aContinue reading “Falling Star”
Time To Edit
I haven’t been as ‘present’ as usual in blogland this past week or so. That’s because I’m deep in the pre-edit on my third Ambeth book, Hills and Valleys. My pre-edit basically consists of a full read through, tidying up the prose and making sure the structure works before sending it to Lucy, my editor.Continue reading “Time To Edit”
