I found this flint some time ago. Split open, it lay upon the path where I walked. It looks as though a star is inside it, as though long ago one fell to earth and became caught in the stone. In Ambeth, the Elders of the Light watch the stars and see what they portend.Continue reading “A Piece of Sky”

Spreading My Wings
‘A journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step.’ Lao Tzu I made my first tweet the other day. I’d been resisting Twitter for a long while now, simply because I wasn’t sure what I’d have to contribute. But then a lovely post by Eilis Niamh (here) made me reconsider my position, asContinue reading “Spreading My Wings”
Twilit Sky
I took this photo a few evenings ago, at a woodland park near to home. I love this time of evening. When the sky is fresh and clear and striped with rainbow colours, the trees black against it. A small sliver of silver moon and the feeling of a day ending, the world settling aroundContinue reading “Twilit Sky”

A Month Without Ambeth
Here we are, a week into November and, for the first time in nearly two years, a week since I have visited Ambeth. I’ve been writing my YA series about my fantasy world pretty much non-stop since last January, so it feels very strange not to be there. Oh sure, I’ve written other things inContinue reading “A Month Without Ambeth”
The Domain of Ambeth
A few days ago I received an email from someone stating that they were the owner of Ambeth.com, letting me know it was up for auction online if it ‘met my needs.’ So I went to have a look, curious to see what value might be ascribed to a domain name based on my fantasyContinue reading “The Domain of Ambeth”
Green Eyed Monster
Another weekend, another article in the paper about a new writer getting a great publishing deal, being touted as ‘the next big thing.’ ‘Why not me?’ I think to myself, shuffling the pages resentfully. ‘When will it be my turn? Huh, bet they know someone in publishing, bet they’ve met an agent somewhere, had someContinue reading “Green Eyed Monster”
