May has slipped past in a flurry of rain and tumbled blossom, the acid-green leaves of spring expanding into the deeper green of summer. In some ways it’s been a long month, yet I wonder where it’s gone. And, somewhere within the tangle of days, I passed my seven-year blogging anniversary on this site. SevenContinue reading “A Blogging Anniversary #amblogging”

A Wild Spirit
It is with sorrow that I write of the passing of Sue Vincent. I often say that blogging has changed my life, and that is absolutely true – what started as a little place to write about writing and whatever was on my mind became so much more, the friendships I’ve made here ones thatContinue reading “A Wild Spirit”
The Soft Emptiness of a Liminal Place

Getting there!

Well, at last! The three books of the Triad of Albion are now live, in paperback and for Kindle… and illustrated in black and white, which finally takes the printing costs, and therefore the sales price, down to a sensible level. It has been bugging us for years… but…
A New Year
I realise we’re already over three weeks in to the new year, so I’m a bit late to the party. But what a year it’s been already, hey? (wild understatement, I know) However, I don’t wish to dwell on the darkness that currently surrounds us. There are threads of hope carried in this year, andContinue reading “A New Year”

The Silent Eye The seasons turn as we approach the turning point, the Solstice… the longest night… just three short weeks away. And yet, the sky is beautiful this morning, a clear, deep blue gracedContinue reading “The long night”

Standing at the end of a residential street, bigger than a house and taking up a huge piece of land, it has watched over the hillside for at least three hundred years, if the size of it is anything to go by. It’s obviously beenContinue reading “The Old Oak Tree”

The Joy Of Wandering… #travel
This morning, while eating breakfast, I read an article about hummus, and how the Israelis make it. I love hummus and often make my own, so this was an interesting article. But what I also loved about it was the descriptions of life in Jerusalem, glimpses into homes and kitchens and restaurants, to the ideaContinue reading “The Joy Of Wandering… #travel”
Wednesday Wander Revisited – Warwick Castle
This week, as I wandered through my blog archives, I felt like visiting a castle. I’m writing a new novel at the moment, set in a London far in the future, so far that the name of the city itself has been lost to time. Several landmarks remain, though, as there are some buildings thatContinue reading “Wednesday Wander Revisited – Warwick Castle”
