It feels like it's been forever since I had a chance to sit down and do this. In my defence, I've "written" lots of posts in my head *lol* I just forget them by the time I regain consciousness (hello grand plans at 2am - anyone else get those?). With a bunch of different projects on the go, I thought I should note them down in a blog post :) Three months back from Singapore (*sob* miss it SO much!) and the weather here is finally starting to get nice. We've switched to daylight saving hours which means it is now bizarrely light at 7.15pm as I type this. And yesterday, I actually had to turn … [Read more...]

Life, if you haven’t seen the updates on my social media pages, has been a bit chaotic for me since the end of December. I made the decision to apply for a role that was a major change from my front-desk reception role. Given that my entire work experience revolves around customer service, and admin work, this was an abrupt change in direction. But only if you view my “normal” work. Instead, the focus became almost solely on my novel writing. My “hobby” is what synched me this new role. Every novelist dreams that their writing will bring them the big bucks to continue writing.

Hi Everyone :) Here is my very first video for the October version of Cabin Fever Monthly, and below that all the links to the recommended books, as well as the most important link to the entry form!

An update on Pandora's curse - it is  no longer called that! The novel has been re-titled as Prometheus, A New Dawn, after I realised the previous title suited my current draft - the first book in the trilogy … [Read more...]

Sorry for the lateness of this upload! I finally had to change to a new computer- and after a good ten years on my old one I've got SOOO much stuff to transfer and work through. Now, let's get back to Ally and Eoin! Here is Chapter Eight ? Please remember this is a rough draft, and as the author I own FULL copyright to it. This work may not be copied/shared in any manner other than a link to this blog. Thanks and enjoy! Chapter Eight  A cupboard in the short hallway between the main room and bedroom quarters revealed exciting contents when Ally discovered it. Torches, like nothing she’d … [Read more...]

Quite a while back I was privileged to meet a local artist who'd gone out and created a children's book. And by created I mean written (all rhyming no less!) and designed an adorably quirky wee tale.     His unique style stuck in my mind and when I got an invite to a gallery of his work I was delighted to accept. After seeing his clever creations first hand again, I got thinking. I've always wanted to have the girls in a cartoon style... We met up and nutted out a few ideas. Unfortunately things haven't worked out quite as either of us hoped for now, so we can't continue any … [Read more...]
