Hello, and thank you for visiting my site. I hope that you'll return often and always find something of interest about my world and what inspires me to pick up a pen. (This is a figure of speech, unfortunately. My handwriting is terrible!) Here's what I've been up to recently...

Promoting Independent UK Authors

I always enjoy supporting fellow writers and this afternoon saw me at one of Harrogate Library’s monthly Books & Beverages sessions. Chaired by Sue Williams, the authors’ panel today consisted of Susanna Lewis, Nick Boreham and Sara Sartagne. All were there to talk about their latest books. Susanna has written Finding Joy in the Everyday, a very touching memoir of her late mother, Nick has just brought out Jurymen May Dine, a crime thriller about a miscarriage of justice and Sara’s The Year of Yes & No is a ‘duality’ novel about two women in different time periods. 

As regulars of the Swanwick Writers’ Summer School, Susanna and I just had to have a photo taken together for its Facebook page and here we are!

Supporting artists, or ‘extras’ as they’re more commonly known, are the unsung heroes of television and film. Maggie Cobbett recalls the ups and downs of twenty years of ‘blending into the background’.
A working holiday in France for so little? “It sounds too good to be true,” says Daisy’s mother, but her warning falls on deaf ears.
