The Bloggers Bash – 2017!

This time last week my bag was packed, my outfit chosen, and I was looking forward to attending another Bloggers Bash. I’d decided to stay over this year, as in previous years it all seemed to end too quickly, conversations cut short as the day flashed by. And I’m so glad I did. The dayContinue reading “The Bloggers Bash – 2017!”

Mad March

I was a bit absent from blogland last month. I seem to be saying that a lot this year, mainly because my work situation has changed, but I was still finding time to check in every once in a while – at least until March came along. But what a month it was! I can’tContinue reading “Mad March”

Navel-Gazing

It’s Monday. Monday means something a little different to me now that I’m back working regularly, rather than freelance. It’s not a bad thing, it’s just different. I’m still getting my new schedule sorted out though, so please do bear with me. I’m going to keep posting as much as I’m able to, though I’llContinue reading “Navel-Gazing”

30 Day Writing Challenge – Day 23 – Wrong Way

It’s day 23 of the 30 Day Challenge, and today’s prompt is: Wrong Way.

Most of us hold the dream of becoming something better thanContinue reading “30 Day Writing Challenge – Day 23 – Wrong Way”

Today I’m quite honoured to be visiting author Louise Allan’s blog, as part of her Writers in the Attic series. Please do pop over and take a look, and also check out some of the other writers featured in the series – each of them have a story to tell, whether it’s about how theyContinue reading “Writers In The Attic, Friends Around The World”

An Author Event

I had an author event this past weekend. That sounds rather grand, doesn’t it? Three of Hertfordshire’s busiest libraries are running independent author events over the next six months, and the first one was this past Saturday, at St Albans Library. When I arrived I was given a table on which to set up myContinue reading “An Author Event”

Bloggers Bash, 2016 – Part 1

Or perhaps I’d be more accurate to call this part ‘The Prologue.’ Because this is it, folks – less than twenty-four hours until bloggers assemble in London for the second annual Bloggers Bash! Some are already there, travelling by plane and train to the capital, soaking up the London atmosphere and getting ready to mingle.Continue reading “Bloggers Bash, 2016 – Part 1”
