I spent this past weekend in Wales, my favourite place in the world, which is where I saw this lovely pink door. It belongs to a cottage high on a hill overlooking Swansea Bay on the Gower Peninsula, a picturesque part of South Wales. It was a lovely weekend. We were with family, and visitedContinue reading “Thursday Doors – In The Pink”

Down By The Canal
It’s getting warmer here, summer finally on its way. Not quite as hot as the European mainland, sweltering in 40 degrees plus, but we are set to top 30 degrees on Saturday, which is quite warm for this little green isle. I’ve lived in hotter places, but no longer have the benefit of a seaContinue reading “Down By The Canal”
A Visit To Kings Landing #GameOfThrones
(Warning: This post contains spoilers for Season 8 of Game Of Thrones, so if you’re not all caught up, read further at your own peril. Again, spoilers spoilers spoilers) A couple of years ago, I shared two posts about visiting Dragonstone, the Targaryen island fortress from Game of Thrones. Of course, I didn’t really visitContinue reading “A Visit To Kings Landing #GameOfThrones”
A Walk On Midsummer’s Day
This morning we set out, my faithful companion and I, to wander the woods on Midsummer Day. The paths were cool and shaded green, sun glimmering through the leaves to create patterns of light and dark. In short, it was a pretty magical way to start the day. I have a long tradition of goingContinue reading “A Walk On Midsummer’s Day”
Writing With A Critique Partner
(note: I realise I’ve been posting quite a lot about the writing process since I returned to blogging. I suppose it’s because, when I was on my blog break, I spent most of it writing. However, don’t worry – I’ll still be wandering stone circles and photographing canal boats and weird doors and writing storiesContinue reading “Writing With A Critique Partner”
The Wednesday Review: Under Stone by Helen Jones (The Ambeth Chronicles #4)
A lovely review for Under Stone, the fourth book in my Ambeth series 🙂 Thank you so much, Darque Dreamer!
Stepping Into A Writer’s World
In my recent post, A Season for Writing, I wrote about the fact that I’d started a new WIP set in California, and that I could almost feel the sunshine. And the more I think about it, the more it seems to me that this feeling of place, of inhabiting the world where my charactersContinue reading “Stepping Into A Writer’s World”
Around The World and Back Again
Getting back into this blogging thing is easier said than done, I’m finding. And it probably hasn’t helped that I’ve been away for the past three weeks on the other side of the world. Apologies for being late getting back to comments, too! So, where have I been? Back to my husband’s native Australia, toContinue reading “Around The World and Back Again”
Puppy Love
The past few months have been a busy time, working on my book and generally getting through life. However, we’ve also had a new addition to the household, a small ball of fluff and love and chaos – Cookie the cockapoo. Cookie is now ten months old – we’ve had her since she was eightContinue reading “Puppy Love”
A Season For Writing
I’ve recently, after months spent editing and tweaking my vampire novel, started a new WIP. I felt a bit rusty at first, a bit unsure. I knew I could write books, but actually doing so, letting the story pull me along, was something I hadn’t done for a while. So I started slowly, trying notContinue reading “A Season For Writing”
