The watch pocket. After getting a lovely antique silver Swiss pocket watch for my birthday – a non-functioning watch minus its minute hand – I finally got it back from the repairers last week. This made me wonder about how I was going to wear it. I had an Albert watch chain for it, but…
I just did two reviews. One of Deadly Nightshade by Victor Banis (mystery not so hot, but loved the characters and love story) and one of Hard Fall by James Buchanan (fabulous book but not my bag because I don’t like cowboys or alpha males). And the damnable software ate it somewhere between putting in…
I’ve posted on the metawriter community on LJ today. The subject was ‘back to basics’ so I went as basic as it was possible to get 🙂 Two Tips for finishing a novel

Some time ago I seem to have signed myself up to host a round robin story on the Coffee Time Romance boards http://www.coffeetimeromance.com/board/forumdisplay.php?f=255 the idea being that I start the story off with a couple of characters, setting, genre etc, then everyone contributes a paragraph a week, and I intervene occasionally to try and keep…
Hidden Conflict, which is the anthology in which Blessed Isle has a spot, now has a cover. It’s beautiful and work-safe, and designed by the talented Jordan Taylor, who also has a novella in the anthology:
I’ve just seen last night’s Torchwood (ep4) on iPlayer. My reaction: ‘ok, that’s it. Don’t care about how it ends. Not watching any more.
