Mountains and Surf

I took a couple of days off over the weekend. There were a couple of reasons for doing so: the first was that I’d finally pressed ‘Publish‘ on No Quarter, the second book in my Ambeth Series. The second was that my husband had booked himself and our daughter in for sessions at Snowdonia Surf,Continue reading “Mountains and Surf”

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”

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”
