Clare’s Collections
[image error]I never collected much of anything as a child. I have NO IDEA where the desire comes from now, as an adult. But I collect LOTS! And so I’m sharing some of the pretty, to stop Hubby from boxing it all away in the loft when he gets tired of it around the house :).
And there’s more… Coffee Cups.
These were another charity shop find. Modern and probably not expensive to start with, but I love the geometric design. I don’t know what art genre that would be?

Free Reads this month
Visit this FREE giveaway this month at Prolificworks, and snag a copy of my short story HOME SWEET HOME.
[image error]The attraction between Chaz and Ryan is as strong as ever but they’ve taken a relationship break, frustrated by each other’s lifestyle. Chaz is a drifter, casual to the point of careless. Ryan is a control freak, preferring order and organisation. It just wasn’t working between them.
But Maybe it’s not too late to make some changes. Maybe there can be a middle ground for two such differen...

SPAM damn damn
[image error]
Dear God. How often do I have to think… why don’t you get a life, you malicious, stupid, mean-spirited, obstructive, speculatively greedy spammers?!
I’ve been hit with a HUGE number – not just Hot P*rn* XXX and She Wants You to Call her with Your Hot Wang Ready Right Now!!! (okay, so I may have paraphrased there) – but this rather nasty financial scamming threat (part example below the cut).
I’ll be turning off comments on my blog and website for a time, see if I can starve it out.
And PLEAS...

Marketing – The Snowball Effect
[image error]There aren’t many authors who embrace marketing with as much verve, attention, and love as we do our writing. There’s nothing more thrilling than publishing a book – but as soon as I published book#2 I recognised The Snowball Effect i.e. I now had to market / maintain / manage TWO books. And then came book#3, needing its own marketing, while the other 2 were still side-eyeing me for attention, then #4, then…
Nice worry to have? Well, I hope I’m never complacent about getting books published (...

These came beautiful Barcelona. So did a salt ‘n pepper set, shot glasses, a set of cake plates… but that’s all for another day LOL.

The Perils of the Penpusher
[image error]Dammit. I let another cup of coffee go cold. When it’s meant to be the life blood of authors, how come I’m constantly reaching for lukewarm if not downright cold coffee?!
My only excuse is I got a whole bunch of inspirational bunnies on holiday last week, and I’m scribbling (or tapping?!) away happily on those. After all, if I don’t get the ideas down on paper, they may escape, right? And in the meantime, I forget to eat on time, and the coffee goes cold.
What can possibly distract YOU, when...
