You’d think that by book number five an author might be more laid back about the covers on their books, but it seems I’m not! And I hope I never lose the deep thrill of seeing the finished cover for the first time. Here’s SAFE HARBOUR’s gorgeous cover. I love the colours, the movement in Continue reading

Novel Writing Retreats Australia (with an end of year special price!)
Next year I’m delighted to be one of nine novelists involved with Novel Writing Retreats Australia in Tasmania. I’ll be there from 21st to 29th June 2014 and am looking forward to working with six writers for 9 days and 8 nights.

Christmas Memories
Twenty-five years ago, when Capt G and I were a couple of fit young whippersnappers, we spent three months on pushbikes cycling through France, Spain and Italy in the depths of winter. We were poor as church mice with a budget of eleven pounds per day per person which had to pay for accommodation and Continue reading
Winner!
Thanks to everyone who entered my Christmas Giveaway. I wish you could all be winners, but sadly that can’t be the case. So many of you sent me beautiful emails and all were deserving so the only fair way was to put your names in Capt G’s hat and draw a winner. Congratulations to Amanda Continue reading
Tailor-made : Trailermade Productions
Ahoy everyone, nice to be shooting the breeze with you again (I lurv these nautical terms 🙂 ) After some action packed days of late (tooth extraction, cross dressing, dealing with the Codus Canis Spiritus leak scandal and helping Helene with her edits – she’s getting more precious every day…) I’ve also managed to squeeze Continue reading
A new direction and a Christmas giveaway!!
Celebrations all round!!! I’ve finally taken a huge leap and today is launch day for my first ever book video promotion – a very big thank you to the crew at Trailermade Productions for doing such a great job of capturing the essence of Half Moon Bay. And how very cool that the sound track Continue reading
Masked Hero
I’m a sucker for a hero. It makes my heart softer when I see an heroic act, even if it’s something small. In a car park near the marina we have a pair of nesting Masked Lapwings (don’t you love that name – it sounds like a bushranger and way more romantic than a Plover!) Continue reading
Shockin’ Frockin’
Frocktober is almost done, but for the Romancing the Frock crew we’ve had one last push to reach our fund raising goals. If you haven’t already donated then please click on the link and dig deep for a great cause. Ovarian Cancer is an insidious disease which is all too often diagnosed late. You can find Continue reading
I’m frocking up for Frocktober!
Coincidences and those déja vu moments when I find myself pre-empting what will happen next have been a regular part of my life. I’m never quite sure what to make of them, but these days I go with the flow. My head tells me they are just a part of a busy mind that dredges Continue reading
Just hanging about :)
Well, howdy all. Since Helene and Capt G have decamped to Narbonne and Manchester I thought I’d check in and let you know that I may have been left behind, but I’m in good hands. I’m having a fabulous time at Just Walking the Dog with my new mates! Love our walks each day and Continue reading
