Last week's book launch and blog tour excitement has settled into a calmer pace, so it's time to get my next project moving along and my regular social media and blog posting back to normal (and oh, wow, has social media diminished!.

On my travels again…
Today I'm popping to Texas to visit Joanne Faries on her blog and share some of the inspiration for The Clock in My Mother's House. Come and see what I've got to say! Short stories are perfect for travelling and commuting. Where's your favourite place to read short stories? I like to have them to … Continue reading On my travels again…
It’s interview time!
When I decided my dream was to be an author (back when I was 7 or 8), the two big interviewers of the day were Terry Wogan and Michael Parkinson, and I'd go to sleep at night dreaming about being interviewed on their shows. Sadly, that never came to pass, but I still love being … Continue reading It’s interview time!
Launch Day! 🥳
It's launch day, and I'm celebrating with a pineapple. Well, not entirely, although I do have some pineapple rings in the fridge which probably need eating so...

Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, Happy Valentine’s Day, Easter etc
Apparently, I chose to completely overlook Christmas and the New Year on this blog, so I thought I should get a couple more things in there in case I go AWOL again. In my defence, I've been busy - on and off line, writing and non-writing activities. Depending on who I talk to, I either … Continue reading Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, Happy Valentine’s Day, Easter etc
Interview with… Loree Westron
It's the final interview of the year, and, as I'm typing this, our freezing temperatures have warmed dramatically and now we've got so much rain! Today, I'd like to introduce Loree Westron who I met in a Facebook group last year. Loree is an American writer now living in the UK. Her short fiction has … Continue reading Interview with… Loree Westron
Nothing to see here
It's that age old problem with writers, and perhaps lots of other professions too (I hear scientists are having a great time with nuclear fusion)... there's lots going on in the background but nothing I want to talk about now. So what happens? I disappear. I don't update things. I slink sideways when it looks … Continue reading Nothing to see here
