Life’s a funny old thing. Just when you think you can sit back, relax and enjoy the ride those pesky little Fates tweak the threads of the fabric and suddenly everything changes. Clotho, the Fate responsible for spinning the threads, is clearly meddling with me at the moment. Over the last twelve months I’ve had Continue reading

A Romance Book Haven
I’m out and about at Romance Book Haven today sharing some of my favourite questions from the Get Reading Tour. And since I’m still celebrating Burning Lies making it onto the RUBY shortlist and the Daphne du Maurier shortlist there’s a copy to be won. You can always give it away as a present if Continue reading
Phew what a day!
Celebrations! According to my dentist I have the teeth of an 18 year old. Shame my knees are more like 60… But hey, it was a wonderful day all round! I’m absolutely delighted that BURNING LIES has been shortlisted for the 2013 Romantic Book of the Year. This was a book without a home for Continue reading
Contest Winners
I’ve been busy in the blogsphere while I’ll be tracking around Australia and with all the excitement I haven’t had time to post the winners from several visits and the Good Read Giveaway for Half Moon Bay. The winner from Book’d Out’s blog was Heidi – the book is winging its way to her letterbox Continue reading
Anyone for Bundy?
Zeus sends his thanks to everyone who asked after him. He’s almost back to his sparky best. Meanwhile GW and I caught up on sleep, some chores and I battled the internet. My wonderful Telstra connection failed me at the worst possible time as I had an online meeting today. Thankfully there are places in Continue reading
And the sun sets on a new day
Phew, it’s been a hectic day, but I’m aboard Roo Bin Esque and settling into the rhythm of a marina with GW and Zeus. As it’s a long weekend the activity has been frenetic all day. Many of our neighbours have already cast off. April also marks the beginning of the cruising season in Queensland Continue reading
Farewells and new beginnings
It’s my last night in our house. It feels empty and a little sad without GW and Zeus. I knew I’d have mixed emotions when the time came to pack everything up, downsize and move onto a boat. Good to see I haven’t disappointed myself…. It’s not that I don’t want to turn into a Continue reading
Cooee!
Somewhere in this sea of masts our perfect new home is hiding. I just need to find her 🙂 Trouble is the one I’m looking for doesn’t have a mast at the moment. Should make it easy to spot, right? Wrong… I figured if I looked long and hard enough I’d spot it eventually, but Continue reading
And still the world turns
It was another glorious sunrise this morning and the first one in a few days I’ve been able to appreciate. I felt a twinge of sadness as it faded into the ordinary light of day. I know I’ll never see another quite the same. The golden intense light rippling over dark and troubled water will Continue reading
Join me for the QWC Year of the Novel 2012
I’m a bit of a sucker for writing courses and workshops. I love the feel good glow as I’m blinded by the multitude of light bulbs going off in my mind. I love the inspiration that floods through me – even when it leaves me incapable of putting words on the page for several weeks. Continue reading
