و راحت الموجة للصخر
ورجعت .. خايبة

و شاكية بلوتها

رجعت و ندمت ع المحاولة

So I was searching for quotes that can encourage me, I was so upset kasi sa mga past reviews na nababasa ko somewhere in the net about my newly published book. And I saw this quote na sobrang tamang tama para gumaan ang loob ko:

My favorite part of Kentucky, where I live, is that it almost always rains instead of snows in the winter.

I have to admit,... read more »

Someone very wise –it may even have been Homer Simpson – once said; ‘why bother going out? you’re going to end up back here anyway'. Some might still be living the kind of exciting life where this is not always necessarily the case, but for the majority, and certainly for me, those words are wise... read more »

e attenta dedizione:

non si può certo far finta

di niente un minuto, e poi

Just sent Beauty’s Curse to be reviewed at Createspace. There is always such an excitement when I know it is almost in print! I loved this story and hated for it to come to an end. It ended up being a rather short book, but at least that means I can retail it for less. I am blessed to be able to... read more »

I have to admit that poetry makes me nervous. I approach it with caution, afraid of revealing yet again that I just haven’t got what it takes to appreciate this sort of thing. But when Caroline Davies passed some of her poems about the Malta convoys around our writers’ group, even I could see tha...
