The Whole of the Moon Every moment is a chance to start again. When Harry Jarvis arrives in Kearton Bay on the evening of the Samhain ceremony at The Hare and Moon Inn, he causes a tidal wave of resentment, anger and anxiety. His ex-wife is worried their daughter will be hurt all over …
Happy Tuesday! Today is publication day for To Catch a Witch! I know that’s got nothing to do with the A to Z Challenge, but I couldn’t not mention it, could I? I also must give a shout out to Jill’s Book Cafe Blog. Jill has published a fabulous piece on the book and its …
Hello, everyone, and welcome to Wednesday! It’s Hump Day, although I’m not sure anyone’s taking much notice of that these days. Those of us who work from home in normal circumstances, those who are working from home temporarily, and those of us who aren’t able to work at all right now, have probably forgotten what …
Welcome to a new week! I hope your weekend went well, even though I realise it probably wasn’t spent the way you’d have loved to spend it. It’s typical that we had such lovely weather and couldn’t make the most of it. I know I’ve got a real longing to head to the Moors or …
So, it’s the third day of the A-Z Challenge and we’ve reached the letter ‘C’. Not a popular letter at the moment, bless it, so let’s see if we can come up with some writerly C words that have pleasant connotations. Covers. What could be a more pleasant topic for discussion than covers? There’s nothing …

When I signed up for this A-Z Blogging Challenge, I never imagined I’d be trying to pull a series of posts together in such trying circumstances. Less than three weeks ago, I was …

Question: What’s the most dangerous condition a writer can have? Answer: Comparisonitis. Never heard of it? Lucky you. It’s a horrible condition which saps the joy from your life, destroys your confidence, and leaves you feeling like a total failure, even if you’ve got plenty to celebrate and be proud of. When I hear …

I meant to publish this post before the weekend but, typically, I was laid low with the dreaded lurgy: three days with practically no voice at all (my husband loved it!) a pounding headache and a soundtrack of sneezes and coughs. I suppose it made a change from Christmas songs. At least, today, I seem …
A Look Back at 2018 ~ a year of big changes and leaps of faith. Read More »
Officially, it’s spring. Unofficially, well, it’s anyone’s guess. I think even poor old Mother Nature is getting a bit confused. One day it’s thick snow and freezing cold, the next it’s blue skies, sunshine and I’m turning the heating down (much to the relief of the gas company, I’m sure. Were we really in danger …
