I love musicals – what’s not to love – dramatic stories told to music, characters breaking into song to express deep thought and emotion. And I love fairy tales – the dark ones, the Disney light ones, the reworked ones (I’ve just watched seasons 1-3 of Once Upon a Time and enjoyed the episode of The Librarians where the fairy … Read More

Inspirational post #2 – c/o Chuck Wendig and his ‘Write Club’ speech.
I just read this and I have to share. I think it’s a wonderful, motivational ‘go write the sucker out of that thing, you writer, you’ kind of piece. You can find it on Chuck Wendig’s oft quoted by me site. I just find what the man says to be nuggets of wonderful truth wrapped up in a loving punch. I … Read More
Weather Blues
It is a blustery, wild, grey day outside. Even in those moments of sunshine breaking through, the clouds are so grey and foreboding, like something out of an old movie, Hitchcock or maybe Rebecca, that it is making feel all moody and forlorn. I should be doing some more work on the next novel in my new series, the Witch-Were … Read More
Reflections
It’s true what they say – what a difference a day makes. Except, I’d change that to say, What a difference a year makes. I’ve read a bunch of blogs reflecting on the last year: reflecting on what they’d learned; looking at whether predictions they’d made about themselves, friends, family, their aspirations, their jobs, the world in general had come … Read More

What I miss about Christmas
I love Christmas. I love the decorations – the colour and sparkle in my house makes me feel happy. I love the Christmas trees (I love decorating mine – and this year, my boys really helped, listening when I explained that the tree needed to be balanced and therefore putting all the same things in the one place isn’t the … Read More
It’s beginning to look a lot like…Christmas Movies
I have to say right off the bat that I’m sorry I went MIA for a couple of weeks. Life smacked me up the side of the head with a number of unexpected things all at once and there was no time to do things such as write about my love of Dr Who, Marvel characters or Star Trek (all … Read More
