My Bridport Prize – it’s not what you think!
Remember I said a while back I’d post occasional pieces about my elephant collection? Well, the dreadful fire which, last week, decimated the cinema in Lyme Regis got me thinking about this little chap. I bought him in Bridport, a market town not far from Lyme and which has just been listed as one of […]
In which I am completely star-struck
Warning: there is copious name dropping in this post. Sometimes I love Twitter. My affair with it began during the last series of Downton Abbey. The television series itself wasn’t all that enthralling but I loved the live Twitter feed. Some people can be amazingly quick-witted and funny in forty characters. Mentions of Lady […]
Zara Stoneley’s Beastie Bestie
When asking writers about their working spaces, it amazes me how often an animal features. I suppose it’s inevitable that as we work from home and alone, we are able to have a dog, cat or even parrot friend to keep us company. This is the first in an occasional series of posts about writers […]

It’s an interesting experience self-publishing. I’m glad I self-pubbed the short story […]
What the bloggy blog is a blog tour?
Blog tour? What the bloggy blog is a blog tour? Help! Towards the end of last year I entered a competition on Facebook. Social media often gets a bad name but, mostly, in my experience it’s been a positive thing. I often enter competitions on Facebook and Twitter because, quite frankly, it takes minimal effort! […]
Jaffa Reads Too!
As part of Josie’s Remembering World War 1 on Sundays series, I’m featured today. Take a look, it’s a really lovely site: http://jaffareadstoo.blogspot.co.uk/2016/02/sunday-ww1-remembered-guest-author.html
News … news … news …
One or two things are changing. I’m sorry to say E-Scape Press is no more. I’ll always be grateful as they gave me my first break in publishing and got my first book out there. I’d like to take this opportunity to say a HUGE thank you to them. The good news is I’ve got […]
The book’s on tour!
Not sure if I’ve mentioned this on here but a few months ago I won a blog tour with Brook Cottage Books. I had no idea what to expect as I’ve never done one before – but it starts today! The first lovely host is Anne: http://beingannereading.blogspot.co.uk/2016/01/blog-tour-review-giveaway-while-i-was.html who is also doing a giveaway. I’ll fill […]
Blue Monday? Be Happy!
Today is Blue Monday. Apparently, the third Monday in January is the one when we’re all at our lowest. It’s still some way to pay day, the weather is usually awful, the days still dark and our New Year Resolutions are well and truly broken. Certainly, when I was teaching, the beginning of the January […]
Sparking Joy
Inspired by a newspaper article by Rachel Johnson, the need for wardrobe space and an imminent house move, I sorted a couple of bags of clothes for charity shops this weekend. It felt really good and I’d meant to get around to doing it for ages. I can now get the clothes I actually […]
