Writing is probably the best therapy she could have had and believes it’s never too late to follow your dream.

Her short stories may be contemporary and real or include dragons, angst ridden teenagers, portals and civil servant

I write snippets of things; jot down a dream or a bit of dialogue; write something silly or dark. It's just about stretching muscles and after a while the other thing comes back. If I have something which I have to write to a deadline, I just write even if I know it's nonsense until it starts making sense. Sometimes it feels so hard and yet afterwards, I realise there's something I can keep.(less)

I found that when I started writing again, I started to feel less stressed. (less)

Getting Unstuck?

It’s been three months since I last posted a blog post. I’m very sorry. Life has been unexpectedly sticky.

Nothing major, you understand.

The last book in the Margaret Demeray series came out in September, and I’m still suffering book bereavement. On the other hand, since then several readers have written to ask me to continue the series, so I’m thinking about that and Margaret and Fox may have to p

Quotes by Paula Harmon  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“The companion didn’t so much have hair as bristles. It looked as if someone had planted iron filings in his scalp to see what would grow and you could have sanded oak with his jaw. From his posture, it appeared that his thighs were too thick with muscle to allow his knees to do anything but wave to each other from a distance. He did not look as if he would know what do with a polite conversation if it was handed to him on a golden platter.

Harmon, Paula. Murder Britannica: Just when you thought it was safe to go for a nice bath . January Press. Kindle Edition.”
