This Writer's Life...
EPIC News
My visitors have gone home, the house feels very quiet and empty and I'm back at my desk - for today, at least. It's always wonderful to catch up with family but the time goes far too quickly.
Now that I've dusted off the desk, I should be getting lots of words done on the current story but I'm too excited to settle to anything. You see, I quickly checked my emails on Saturday morning and one immediately caught my attention. …
Away again...
I seem to have been on one long holiday lately. And I'm off again. The downside is that no passports or bottles of sun lotion will be necessary.

I can only assume it's because while I'm doing other things, like stopping a puppy chewing everything, my subconscious is working away on the current story. …
Thank you, book people
I want to thank everyone who's offered to read and review my November release, Dying Art. I really appreciate it - especially as sending the right file format for all these different e-readers can be a pain. Thank you. The file has gone to a few people and the rest of you should receive it today or tomorrow.
Yes, there's still plenty of time for those of you who haven't contacted me and would like to read a digital copy of …
