After living in various parts of the UK, including Wakefield, York, Derby, and the Yorkshire Dales, I now live on a Narrowboat cruising the canal network. I enjoy reading, writing, travelling, walking, kayaking, watching all forms of motorbike racing and socialising (networking). At the beginning of my writing journey, I started my blog which tracks the ups and downs of writing. ((I need to mention that my blog posts are usually visited by ‘Brackets’!)) To the books… My fantasy series, Festival of Time was completed with the publication of Book Three: Battle in November 2022 and now joins, Book Two: Rescue, and Book One: Escape. Click ‘books’ on my website to find out more and follow me on social media for updates – I love chatting with readers and authors. In 2021 I joined Saga Fiction and now have three stories published on their app; A Christmas Wish, Decisions, Decisions, and A night lost to the past. Power of Nature a thriller/mystery novel is available on eBook. Finding Love, is my latest romance/rom-com novel and is available as an eBook and paperback on Amazon. I’m part of a wonderful writing group based in Newark; The Fosseway Writers and have stories in various anthologies including; The Brinwade Chronicles, which is a collection of 28 Gothic stories by 13 writers. Burning Old School Ties, Blood, Sweat and Typewriters and our latest book, Writings on the Walls, Available on Amazon. In February 2019 I was lucky enough to travel to New Zealand. During my time exploring this wonderful part of the world I kept a journal and this became 187 Kilometres, turn left – which is a guide to our 43-day bucket list adventure. Available on Amazon. In December 2018; Game of Souls I published my first horror novella. Available on Amazon. Current projects: SagaFiction: Mystery/thriller novel based in Jersey I’m very excited to start rewriting my psychological series, which will hopefully be published in 2024!

It’s up early again after a rubbish nights sleep due to the hot weather and adopting the same plan as yesterday we cruise early to avoid the hot midday sun.

((I cannot believe it, you’ve actually started cruising and now stopped again! You do know what you’re supposed to do with a boat don't you??)) Cheeky! We had good reason to stay put as we had so much work to do on the boat and then there were the stoppages which caused an issue. Also… Continue reading Day 51 – Wed 6th Sept – Sawley visitor moorings

Today is the day we leave Langley Mill and try our luck going back down the canal as we head for our 10 day stay at Mercia Marina. It’s been absolutely brilliant here and we have achieved so much. A few of the jobs like the painting of the stern and the bow have been… Continue reading Day 49 – Mon 4th Sept – WE ARE LEAVING!
