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! Could be worse, though, I know that. Streaming eyes and the fact that the front of my face feels as though it’s aboutContinue reading “Writing Updates And The Snot Monster”

#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”

Summer Daze

Hi everyone! Just a quick update to say hello. I’ve not been around much in blogworld these past couple of weeks, as summer holidays are here plus we’re doing (another) renovation so I’ve not had a lot of time to spend online recently.

The past few weeks have been quite busy, as I mentioned in a previous post, mainly because I’ve been working through the final edit and finicky formatting of my latest book, Hills and Valleys.

The faint shrieking of winged Watchers could be heard, growingContinue reading “#WritePhoto – A Glimpse of Ambeth”

When The Forest Calls

I’ve had one of those days today where I’ve done a little bit of lots of things, but not much of anything. There’s been laundry, as usual, plus some cooking – I made sweet chilli sauce that’s more chilli than sweet, some guacamole and some smoked almonds, so have been snacking most of the morning.Continue reading “When The Forest Calls”

In Praise Of Libraries

So today something kind of cool happened. My daughter was using my phone and decided to Google Oak and Mist. She then became very excited. ‘Mummy, someone’s drawn your book!’ I had a look and, sure enough, it was my first piece of fan art. I can’t share it here as it’s not mine toContinue reading “In Praise Of Libraries”
