Hello, dear friends and followers, I’ve always been a devotee of Richard Fidler on the ABC and Michael Parkinson on the BBC. Helene has finally caved in a recognised my talent. So here it is! My first interview going live. Please enjoy. Nero, Bunson, I’m delighted to turn the spotlight on you two today. I 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
Happy Birthday, Zeus!
Twelve years ago a tiny little bundle of wrinkly fur and wide brown eyes stole our hearts. GW can still be found with a slightly more robust Zeus sleeping in the crook of his arm. Zeus has never outgrown his love of a comfy bed… And, of course, Â my writing courses would be poorer without Continue reading
Thank you all for your well wishes
Thanks for all your well wishes. I’m feeling much better this morning. Trouble with getting old is I don’t bounce back as quickly, but GW (devoted father that he is) was up most of the night doing room service with chicken and rice – I do know how to milk a situation to its fullest Continue reading
I’m packed!
Okay, enough talking. Where’s this boat? I’ve been packed for months 🙂 This old dog is ready to learn some new tricks!
Fame at any cost? How far would you go?
Well roll me over and tickle my tummy! (It’s Zeus here, just in case you thought Helene was getting kinky in her middle age 😉 ) The things you find on the internet… I’ve always prided myself on staying aloof from the paparazzi and that whole celebrity media thing. (Who wants to be caught in Continue reading
Hello? Is this working?
Well now isn’t this fun! Helene’s crook in bed with a dreaded summer cold (kept me awake half the night coughing and carrying on. You don’t see dogs behaving like that…sniff..) Anyway, the thing is she left her computer turned on and within easy reach. Seems typing isn’t as hard as I thought it would Continue reading
Cool Cats and a Hot Dog!
Today Zeus has the absolute pleasure of visiting LoveCats DownUnder. (I’m there to make sure he doesn’t get too frisky with the Cats 🙂 ) Love to see you drop by for a chat, or three! http://lovecatsdownunder.blogspot.com.au/
Thank you, Stephanie!
A huge thank you to Stephanie, Doug and the vet nurse from Marlin Coast Veterinary Hospital at Trinity Beach who turned out at 7pm on Good Friday to dislodge a brisket bone from Zeus’s throat. You guys are wonderful! And thanks to our understanding dinner guests (including my sister who headed back to France in Continue reading
What conflict should not do…
Last week I had a look at what conflict shouldn’t be. Today, ably assisted by Zeus, I’m contemplating what conflict should not do to your hero or heroine. Conflict shouldn’t demean them. The conflict can and should challenge them, change them, because we want our characters to grow with the story, but it shouldn’t paint Continue reading
