What’s in a name?
I’ve got a problem. Just the one I hear you cry? Well yes, just the one at present. I’m currently editing a novella soon to be published by E-Scape Press and am changing the names of some of the characters. I can’t come up with a name for my second male ‘lead’. I prefer […]
Well, well, well …
Like Elizabeth Bennet, I could spend my whole life in Derbyshire. Lucky Lizzie did so and even more fortunately married the delectable Darcy. I love the place for long weekends, even though I’ve never been lucky enough to happen upon a dishevelled Darcy sauntering through the grounds of his stately home! Mr. Darcy’s home […]
Ghosts, ghoulies and a Hamburg art gallery.
‘There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philosophy.’ So said Hamlet, who had just cause to say so, as the ghost of his father had just appeared before him. Before Christmas, on a bitterly cold Sunday afternoon, I had the pleasure of listening to Barbara Erskine speak […]

C’mon, where do you really get your ideas from?
Two of my favourite authors collided recently, in the Saturday Telegraph. Sebastian Faulks gave his critique on the character of Mr. Darcy. It was in anticipation of the BBC2 series, Faulks on Fiction, beginning 5th February. I’ll certainly be tuning in to watch. What caught my attention wasn’t the picture of the delectable Colin Firth […]
Be thou hale in 2011!
I’m sorry I have neglected you all for so long. Christmas is always such a busy time, isn’t it? But may I wish you a very Happy New Year and a prosperous one too (despite the current economic climate). Here’s something to make us think of longer days and better weather and the scent of […]
The new addition
Georgie (wasn’t being egotistical, it just suited her!) arrived in our lives in August. She’s a working cocker/springer spaniel cross, so is pretty lively. We love her but Bertie is reserving judgement!
Shed envy
Haven’t blogged for a while and this is why … I’m suffering from shed envy. Really bad shed envy. Let me explain. On one of my regular dog walks, I pass along a lane which has some rather nice barn conversions. One sunny autumn morning Bertie and I were wandering along when we heard the […]
Celebrate the wonderful Georgette Heyer!

It’s sure to be a good read! For more details check out www.forromancereaders.com
That special place …
Does everyone have that special place – or is it just me? Mine is Lyme Regis in Dorset. Going there makes me happy, walking on the famous seawall, The Cobb, makes me feel at peace with the world and leaving gives a tug to the heart that’s painful. Lyme Regis – ah Lyme Regis! How […]
