For a variety of reasons I didn't get much reading time last month. I managed to squeeze one in though, and if your tastes match mine, you may enjoy this – Death At Warbler's End - Bellamy Beck
Wednesday word of the week – quadrennial
Quadrennial can either mean lasting for four years, or recurring every four years. That's rather confusing, isn't it? Suppose I told you I had a cake eating binge on a quadrennial basis - would that mean I stuffed myself silly for forty-eight consecutive months, or that I lasted almost four years between blow-outs? Now you're confused over the … Continue reading Wednesday word of the week – quadrennial
Bargain book apparently
My short story collection Over The Garden Fence is currently reduced to 99p (99c) I'm not sure why it is. Quite possibly it's something I set up a while ago and forgot about. There's some non writing related stuff going on in my life right now and it's taking up a lot of my time … Continue reading Bargain book apparently
Nearly topical
I'm very happy to have a couple of stories in the current (December) issue of Take A Break's Fiction Feast. One is set on bonfire night and the other during the summer. Initially I thought that was odd timing, but after having two named storms in quick succession I've changed my mind. With the dark … Continue reading Nearly topical
Piece of Pie
One of my short stories is currently available to read on the My Weekly website.

He's like that) View used in this context means what is seen from a particular point. Of course what we can see might be a row of overflowing bins, but usually it's taken to refer to … Continue reading Wednesday word of the week – view
5 stars!
I've had a couple of reviews for my free mini mystery ebook already, including the 5 star one below, and a nice 4 star one on Goodreads. It got a 5 star ranking there as well. If you've not yet a copy, you can download it from Amazon and Apple here or here for other … Continue reading 5 stars!
Setting it free
The cover created from an image I obtained after standing on a windy hill and went without tea for hours (well, more than one if you include walking to and from the location) to get, now has an ebook to go with it. It's only little and it's free! You can download from Apple or … Continue reading Setting it free
Wednesday word of the week – haiku
Haiku is a form of Japanese poetry which traditionally have seventeen syllables and a seasonal reference. (The picture is of a Japanese anemone which flowers in my garden every autumn) Don't know about you but I simply cannot do a decent haiku Can do better? (or worse - I'd like to see that!)
