The creative path to publication…
June already! This month is marching on and it will soon be my birthday ((OH such joy. Not as if you’ve not already started the ‘month to infinity’ celebration period. You’re on holiday as you type!)) Actually, I think you will find this is called a Woliday ((I know something that rhymes with that)) I’m…
My Kickstarter Campaign is live… well, nearly!
I’m celebrating 8 years of my blog and writing journey and I managed to tick off most of the things on my to do list from last month. ((I knew you wouldn’t get them all done!)) The Sixth Witch is finished. I will leave a link at the end of the blog. I really enjoyed…
The Sixth Witch – Chapter 21-26

Are there any witches in there?’ Everyone froze. ‘How did we not know they were coming?’ Kasha hissed, ‘Aland.’ The wolfhound raised its massive head and whined. Clearly it had no idea and the other…

The Sixth Witch – Chapters 11-20
Chapter Eleven Freya’s carved wooden chair creaked as she eased back, her mind reeling from everything she’d heard. She was a witch.

It’s all change… a new routine awaits…
Well, it was a busy old month ((yeah coz like how many holidays did you have in February??)) only one to Tenerife, which was amazing and some much needed topping up of vitamin D was achieved as well as catching up on my TBR pile. I was only back a few days and then I…
I finally did it… no… not that!
How wonderful that we’ve managed to get through the 1,345 days which is January! Sadly, I finally lost the battle ((Not the plot?)) I lost the plot many years ago, Brackets! ((I’m saying nothing)) to the cold/flu which has been doing the rounds. The 1st of January arrived and I’d transferred my diary ready for…
Review of 2025 and plans for 2026
Happy new year everyone. Can you believe we are in 2026! In many ways it’s nice to say goodbye to 2025 and hello to a new year which will hopefully include a lot less trauma for many people I know. I think it will be sensible to break down the year and let you know…
