In the cold evening air of a wintry London, the drug flowed slowly from the dart into her veins, but it numbed her nerves and dulled her senses all the same. The shadows of the alley draped them in darkness as he lifted the unconscious and pliable body up, folded it into the shopping trolley and covered it with plastic bags, his heart leaping with excitement to find out just how long this one would last.

The ideas for this trilogy came to me when walking on Dartmoor and Bodmin Moor and seeing the Neolithic sites scattered all over them. I investigated into this period and discovered they are sometimes known as portal stones and portal dolmens (burial sites), which got me thinking about doorways. I also read about the Ley lines that link one Neolithic site to the next, natural lines of energy that run through the earth. So, with doorways/portals and lines of energy lacing through them filling my mind - I thought of a world where these could actually combine to work, where standing stones are portals to other worlds and the places between

So many things inspire me to write. People I know, places I've visited, books I've read and films I've watched. Mostly, however, it's ancient mythologies, fables and tales and histories of peoples across the world, most especially, the Neolithic era - a time of mystery, standing stones and earth energies.

As The Cracked Amulet, book 1 of my Wefan Weaves trilogy is about to be published, I'm working on book 2 - The Fractured Monolith. The story continues with some of the protagonists from the first book, the tension heightens, and life as they know it hangs by a thread.

Write, write some more, keep writing. No, really, the only way to become a writer is just to get on and do it. You will get better. Get others to read your work and be open to all critiquing, you don't need to change anything but you will see your writing with new eyes and it'll hone you.

I'm able to spend my time doing my favourite thing at any where, any time, any place (martini anyone?). Sometimes I like to be snuggled on the sofa, sit in the dappled shade of a tree in the garden, or upright at the desk if I'm drawing or map-making. It's my choice and I'm loving it.

I think about where the protagonist is - what does s/he see, hear, feel, smell even taste - they could be in an inn eating off a trencher. Describing what is around them draws me into the scene, into the story and so off I go again -able to write with wings.
