An Experiment with Facebook Promotion*

*Before we begin, I’d like to clarify that this promotion was not by using paid ads through Facebook, but rather by contacting community pages on Facebook for promotion. I recently ran a five-day free promotion for Oak and Mist, the first book in my Ambeth series. I’d run one before, back in September last year,Continue reading “An Experiment with Facebook Promotion*”

Sue Vincent – Writing Prompt – The Fairy Door

It’s Thursday, so I normally post a door as part of Norm 2.0’s Thursday Doors Challenge (and I may yet still, it’s Thursday for a little while longer yet). But Sue Vincent over at  The Daily Echo posted a writing prompt based on this picture she took of a mysterious door in a stone wall,Continue reading “Sue Vincent – Writing Prompt – The Fairy Door”

Wednesday Wander – Museum Of Traditional Architecture, Dubai

We went to Dubai a few years ago, taking several days as a stopover to break up the lengthy flight between Australia and the UK.

Hugh’s Photo Challenge – Week 13: Love

Another last minute entry for Hugh’s Weekly Photo Challenge! The theme this week is Love, and so I’ve chosen a photo from my wedding day. It may seem an obvious choice, and in some ways it is.

Oak and Mist, the first book in my Ambeth series, is free on Amazon from now until February 25th (e-book version only). ‘The end of everything?

Thursday Doors – Silves, Portugal

This week’s door photograph was taken in the town of Silves, Portugal. Carved wood and curved metalwork make this quite an ornate door, yet the flyers casually shoved underneath add a prosaic touch, as do the jumble of wires overhead. Located in the south of Portugal, Silves was a Caliphate from the 8th to 13thContinue reading “Thursday Doors – Silves, Portugal”
