It’s Friday! And I’m off on holiday tomorrow for a couple of weeks – yay! I’ll be visiting one of the places that inspired my Ambeth landscape, so have my camera ready to take lots of shots. In the meantime, I’ve dug deep down into my blog archives, to a time when hardly anyone cameContinue reading “Happy Friday!”

Autumn Sky
I’ve posted photos of this sky before, and it seems to be turning into a bit of a series. The photos are taken somewhere I visit regularly, and at the same time in the evening, so are a good illustration of the seasons as they change. Now the nights are starting to draw in, theContinue reading “Autumn Sky”
The Proof Is In The…
Happy Tuesday, everyone! Just a very quick post today – the proof copy has come back for No Quarter, the second book in my Ambeth series, and so I’m focusing on one last read-through before hopefully, publishing by the end of this week. I would recommend to anyone using Createspace or any other print-on-demand service,Continue reading “The Proof Is In The…”
A Marketing Experiment – Follow-up
Last week, I wrote a post about a marketing experiment I was doing, the main objective being to increase my readership and, hopefully, generate some interest in my upcoming new release, No Quarter. I decided to offer Oak and Mist, the first book in the series, free on Amazon for a limited time, hoping toContinue reading “A Marketing Experiment – Follow-up”
Walking Through Rivendell
About twenty-five years ago, I went on a trip around Europe. I was living in Canada at the time and this was my first big holiday by myself, so it was a Big Deal. The trip brought its own set of challenges and experiences, most of them positive, as well as some marvellous memories. OneContinue reading “Walking Through Rivendell”
The Big Sky
The weather seemed to reflect my mood today. It was all over the place. Rain was spattering my sunglasses, but I needed them against the bright sunlight coming from behind the clouds. As I emerged onto the park at the top of the hill, the sky opened up around me, grey rain and darkness toContinue reading “The Big Sky”
Feeling Light
I love the way the light falls at this time of year. There is a golden richness to it, one that invites you to sit outside for a while with hot tea or cold cider, savouring the last sweetness of summer before the long dark of winter sets in. It feels melancholy to me asContinue reading “Feeling Light”
Before You Publish…
Chris The Story Reading Ape posted a link the other day that got me thinking. It was about a blogger – a cautionary tale, really. She had been using images from the internet to illustrate her blog posts, but had been unaware that she didn’t have permission to use those images. When a photographer calledContinue reading “Before You Publish…”
Night Scribbles
I woke last night with a half formed idea for a blog in my head. Something about rejection and happy thoughts and yet acknowledging it was tough yada yada. I tossed and turned and mumbled about it, then went back to sleep, a smile on my lips, certain I had a nice post for thisContinue reading “Night Scribbles”
The Turning of the Year
It’s the last day of school holidays. Autumn beckons, though no doubt we’ll have several weeks of warmth and brilliant sunshine once the kids have gone back to school. And I am having the slight wobble I do at this time of year, as the wheel turns and my daughter goes into a new year.Continue reading “The Turning of the Year”
