  • Sometimes, as Lynne Hackles often writes in her column in the writing magazine, having a break from writing can be beneficial. We recently had a week in Devon. Here we are in Torquay, waiting for someone special to come along. Me and our eldest son share a January birthday, so we had a meal out…

  • Enjoying the September writing magazine. Full of great articles by lots of great writers, some of whom follow my blog, and others who’s blogs I follow. I’m sure the man with the red pen would change that sentence. It’s great to see the president still writing his column. When I had the writing magazine, years…

  • Here’s me having a go at e.publishing. Notice that it’s a story, not a novel My e – story for children. Take a look here Alex, the boy in the story is nine years old. It’s aimed at children around that age. Then again, I love all children’s stories. It’s an adventure story; one that…

  • We’re into July, and a heat wave is upon us. It’s time for my giggle blog, but that can wait until next week. My latest news is that I have a new job. More on that later in the month. I start mid July, and it’s a fab job. The men’s tennis semi-final is a…

  • I won a book from Diane Denton A House near Luccoli.  I couldn’t have imagined how romantic and poetic the story would be. I know Diane is a brilliant artist and poet, because I follow her blog and website. So reading the story, you feel as if you’re there, in 17th Century Genoa. It’s a…

  • I prefer a proper book to e.books. I know we have to move forward, but for me, there’s nothing like sitting down to relax with a cup of earl grey and something good to read. Today I picked up five Mills & Boon books. Reason for that is that I’m writing my Hats off to…

  • I was lucky enough to win a book. A House near Luccoli. It says on the front cover, A Novel of Musical Intimacy & Intrigue in 17th Century Genoa. By Diane Denton.   Looking forward to reading it, also the music of Alessandro Stradella is lovely.    

  • Have a look at that little box on the side of my details if you’re looking for a relaxing break. I’m now an affiliate, makes sense as I talk about Devon so much. I do love Warwickshire at this time of the year though. The trees are looking stunning. We went a walk on the…

  • Take a look at Ruth’s post here.  I have an affection for the cliché; I know they’re classed in the writing world as wrong. In this months Writing magazine one of the letters is from a reader who is in despair at being told her work was loaded with the little gems. I’ve sent in…

  • That’s a joke really; I joined the site triond where I write articles. http://gomestic.com/cooking/m-c-beaton-agatha-raisin-and-the-quiche-of-death/ It’s good fun as there’s a way to add pictures and you can write absolutely anything within reason. I’ve earned around sixty pence in two years. Woo-hooo, what shall I spend it on??? It’s partly my own fault though as they…
