April 24, 2018

One evening last week, while sensible people headed outside to enjoy the unseasonal British heat, I arrived at a community library to deliver a talk about my debut novel BLIND SIDE.

March 6, 2018

Just had a nudge from FB that I should make my author presence known. And there’s been nothing on my blog for a while, oh dear… My excuse for tardiness in posting anything is that I’ve been busy getting my second novel MS ready and submitting to publishers – and preparing a plan for self publishing … More Not slacking off, really
