I am hoping that our new garden fish pond will be an area of cool relaxation, tranquillity and delight for us, which will be great for writing. I could do with that as I have not written much over the last few years due a lack of stability in my life and a disappointing drop in sales, which could be the result of a culture shift brought on by Covid 19.

NaNoWriMo 2017 was a big success again, although the so-called rewards for completing it are pretty useless discounts and promos
Literary Agents Past and Present It was only five years ago that I sought to have my first novel published, but a lot has happened, and charged, since then, making it feel much longer ago. It had taken me five years to write Daddy’s Hobby, and knowing nothing about publishing, I thought that the world …

I am a writer. I have always loved words and writing. As such, I recognise Conventions In Writing, and try to adhere to them most of the time
I have started an Insiders’ Newsletter 🙂 I thought there were people, friends, family, and readers of my books, who wanted to know more
Conventions Sometimes, it seems that our lives are full of conventions. There are all sorts of them: social conventions; Star Trek Conventions; Conventions of Witches (and even witches’ conventions, I dare say); Writers’ Conventions; and writing conventions, which is what this post is about.

I understand the time factor, but less so why so-called factual literature should be …
The Colour of Leaves There are many styles of writing and just as many types of readers who have stylistic preferences. I can be argued that the most successful writers match the most common preferences and one of these I think of as ‘describing the colour of leaves’. It is the language of the Eighteenth …

I suppose I am about thirty-five percent through it and looking for more inspiration. This is the stage in writing a …
The Lek Series I call it the Lek series, although it is always billed as the ‘Behind The Smile’ series, which is its official title. It is just that the name Lek trips off the tongue more easily, and after writing about her for ten years, I am more comfortable calling her by name. In …
Writing My Books Regular readers will know what I’m like by now – if I’m not writing my books or talking to you like this, I’m reorganizing my files or trying to improve them, but writing my books has to take priority. So, I haven’t been posting much recently because I’ve been busy with Behind …
