I was talking to my musician brother recently, about creative ideas and where they come from. I commented that sometimes, I didn’t realise where inspiration came from until long after the fact, when something or someone would jog my memory and I would make the connection. He said the same thing happened to him withContinue reading “The Landscape of the Mind”

Of Doors and Getting Back Into Things
I’ve just come back from holidays. Oh, very nice, you might say – and you’d be right 🙂 At the same time, it was a busy couple of weeks.

Today, when I logged into my Goodreads account, I noticed someone had given Oak and Mist a two-star rating.Continue reading “Up And Down”
Swiftly Paced Intricacy – Oak and Mist by Helen Jones
Originally posted on Crumpled Paper Cranes:
Available on Amazon via Kindle and paperback. Admittedly, I’m not what you’d call extremely well-read. That being said, aside from the first installment of The Lord of the Rings series, and the Harry Potter books that I’ve rarely ever re-read, I have hardly read any fantasy. Perhaps it’s all…
