I’ve found the WordPress Blogosphere to be an invaluable resource for sharing knowledge and inspiration. I love reading the lessons people are learning, or have learnt, on their journeys and I just love the sharing of ideas in general. As I’m working on the first draft for my first novel, I like to use Wednesdays …

They say there is no such thing as a new idea. I’ve always known this and I’ve always told myself that stories are unique in the ways they are told. Other people may have written something similar to your book, but it will never be your book. That said, I have moments when I can’t …

I’ve been feeling great recently. Last week, we had the letter through from the Estate Agents to say our contracts had exchanged; nobody could back out now! This means that the keys will soon be in my hands and it all feels very real. That said, I didn’t want to write about my excitement to …

No longer stationary, the runes laced to his hands in metallic ink swirled surreally; their origin and nature known only to him. With a sudden force the tower top crumbled, the rock walls reduced to dust; …
She awoke to the sound of the front door bursting open, the sound of the once sturdy lock tearing away from the frame, as leather-clad boot broke wood. Suddenly awake, and already drenched in terror-induced sweat, Kate sprang from the covers; the cold evening air sending shivers across her pale skin. The screams came next, …
I’ve always known I wanted to “write a novel”, but no matter how many times I sat down to start I never could. As I mentioned in last weeks post, I’ve always had many novels planned but never made much progress beyond planning them. Remembrance in Blood is different, I’ve started it and I’m making …
