It’s come to my attention that Fred Phelps and his so called ‘Church’ intend to picket Heath Ledger’s funeral. Not because he was gay, but because as an actor he played a gay man once. Where will these people end? Well I don’t want to speculate on that. But it’s also come to my attention…
So, I read the BBC article about how Season 2 of Torchwood had pulled together, got into its stride, left the shaky start of season 1 behind and was now utterly brilliant. Perhaps it was that which left me feeling rather blah at the end of Season 2 Episode 1. Don’t get me wrong, I’m…
And so early too! I got this in my in-box this morning: Anyone who wants a signed copy (though I can’t imagine why anyone would ), just say and we can sort something out. (It’s all complicated by the Atlantic Ocean, but I’m sure we can get around that 😉 ) Squeeeeeee!!! Captain’s Surrender By:…
In an exciting new venture for my blog, I have an interview with my fellow Linden Bay Author, Shiela Stewart, multiply published author of Kidnapped, Secrets of the Dead, and the Passion series. How long have you been writing? What made you start? I’ve been writing all my life. But it wasn’t until six years…

The author does a wonderful job of recreating the world of 1779 for the reader. I truly felt like I was transported back in time.”…
So today I sent the revised revised version of 90% Proof back to the editor. Annoyingly enough, I can’t help but feel that it is in fact better for all the editing. It made me tear my hair out, but I think I’ve managed to take out ‘was’ but retain at least some period feel,…
Having seen a few pictures of authors’ workplaces, I thought I’d post a picture of the (messy and cheerless) workstation where I do my writing. One of these days it would be nice to move it into a room of its own, with all my books around and some ornaments/nice pictures or something, rather than…
90% Proof continues its nauseating see-saw between being ‘yay! I love it!’ and ‘OMG I never want to see it again.’ Today I discovered that I could not edit. According to the guidelines, I’m supposed to take all variants of the verb ‘to be’ out of the manuscript. I’m also supposed to strictly limit character…
