It’s been a little while since I’ve written an update kind of post, and so it seemed like today would be a good day. A Thousand Rooms is currently available to read and review via NetGalley, and was recently in their Summer Reads newsletter. So far, so good. I’ve also been asked, via a NetGalleyContinue reading “Reading, Writing, and Silver Fish Jumping”

A Sad Break-Up…
How is everyone this Monday? We’ve just had a lovely warm weekend here in the UK, a real taste of summer (or perhaps all the summer we are going to get, according to some!). I’ve been out and about quite a bit lately, visiting some wonderful places, but have one small problem. My iPhone hasContinue reading “A Sad Break-Up…”
Back To A Working Week
It’s a new year, and a new era for me, as I’ve just returned to office work after more than a decade working freelance. My daughter is older now and soon won’t need me to take her to school any more so, when an opportunity came up, I took it. I am still writing andContinue reading “Back To A Working Week”
Walking A Tangled Path
I’ve been a bit quiet on the blog front of late. Partly because I think I’m still recovering from the Thirty Day Writing Challenge, partly because I’ve actually been recovering from a nasty lingering cold that’s been running rampant around here (even the Queen had it), and partly because I’ve been trying to untangle theContinue reading “Walking A Tangled Path”
A Productive Day and A #ThursdayDoor
I had a very productive writing day today. The kidlet went back to school and (even though I missed her) I managed to clear a bit of clutter out of my office, plus take a walk in the freezing cold sunshine. And it seemed to pay off. A nagging structural issue in Under Stone (AmbethContinue reading “A Productive Day and A #ThursdayDoor”
30 Day Writing Challenge – Day Twenty Six – Song
It’s actually Christmas Eve as I write this post, and I’m listening to Christmas music as I work. At the moment it’s John and Yoko’s Christmas carol – I think Mariah is up next. I often listen to music when I write – I find it can get me into a flow where the musicContinue reading “30 Day Writing Challenge – Day Twenty Six – Song”
30 Day Writing Challenge – Day Seventeen – Early Morning
Earlier this week I shared this image on my Instagram account. It was taken one early morning as I walked past the park. Mist hung low beneath the trees, the light behind turning them to silhouettes and it seemed so serene to me, the mist like a blanket on the grass, that I had toContinue reading “30 Day Writing Challenge – Day Seventeen – Early Morning”
30 Day Writing Challenge – Day Fifteen – Witness
It’s day fifteen, half way through the 30 Day Writing Challenge, and today’s prompt is: Witness I’d had a little flicker of an Ambeth story running through my mind and it seemed to work with this prompt, the idea of the trees as silent witnesses being quite insistent. If you’ve read the books, you mayContinue reading “30 Day Writing Challenge – Day Fifteen – Witness”
Cleaning House
I don’t like cleaning. I really don’t. I can think of about a million things I’d rather do than dust and scrub and sweep. However, I do like a clean house, so, until I start selling loads and loads of books and can afford to hire a cleaner, for now the job falls (mostly) toContinue reading “Cleaning House”
Wednesday Wander – Koalas Koala-ing
I woke up today and felt the need for some cuteness in my life, so for this week’s Wednesday Wander I’ve decided to share some photos of koalas. As you might have guessed, that means we’ve wandered to Australia – the first two pictures were taken at the Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary in Queensland, and theContinue reading “Wednesday Wander – Koalas Koala-ing”
