The Wednesday Wander is back! After two weeks off due firstly to an ongoing series of posts, then to me being too ill to post anything at all, I’m back to wander the world (the bit I’ve seen of it, anyway). This week, I’m wandering to Switzerland, to a melancholy monument carved into a cliffContinue reading “Wednesday Wander – Lion Monument, Lucerne, Switzerland”

#writephoto – The Glimpse
Well. This was a bit of a pickle. She’d thought she’d found a shortcut when the wall panel behind her gave way, stepping into the dark passage without even thinking, the square gleam of light at the other end looking very like the visitor’s entrance. But as soon as the panel had closed behind her,Continue reading “#writephoto – The Glimpse”
Book Spine Poetry
I saw this on Twitter a while ago and thought it a fun thing to do – basically, you make a poem from book titles. Here’s my attempt: I capture the castle, The daughter of time; Away with the fairies, Memory and dream The dark is rising Whispers underground.

Writing Updates And The Snot Monster
Happy Friday, everyone! Just a quick update post, as my week has been thrown into slight disarray by a snot monster who has decided to take up residence in my sinuses. Blegh!

#BlogBattle – Coconut – Blast From The Past
It’s that time of week again, when bloggers across the web post their response to Rachael Ritchey’s Blog Battle. This week, the prompt is ‘coconut’, and I had grand dreams and a wisp of a story about being at the beach, with the song ‘She’s Got a Lovely Bunch of Coconuts’ floating around in myContinue reading “#BlogBattle – Coconut – Blast From The Past”
Writing An Agent Submission Letter
After seven days of writing about an otherworldly weekend away with The Silent Eye, it’s back to reality with a rather prosaic thud – this post is all about crafting the agent submission letter.

Circles Beyond Time – Dawn
This is the continued account of my weekend away with The Silent Eye. Click here for parts one, two, three, four and five. 5:11am. Ugh. I hadn’t slept well, and my alarm jolted me out of a dream.

Circles Beyond Time – Awakening
This is the continued account of my weekend away with The Silent Eye. Please click here for parts one, two, three and four. (Before I begin this part of the story, I realise I’ve not said much about the companions.

Circles Beyond Time – Warmth
This is the continued account of my weekend away with The Silent Eye. Please click here for part one, part two and part three. We all gathered around the stone, everyone agreeing that it looked very similar to a sundial.
