Which Way?

Hmmm, might have been a while since I posted. The good news is that I’ve almost finished the editing on the story for submission (oh, last week? Well, this week it will be submitted — not out of time yet). I’m sure I spend more time editing than doing the first draft (even if the … Continue reading Which Way?

Going, going … soon to be gone

There’s an anthology on Smashwords (and distributed more widely, except to Amazon) called Purpose. In a few weeks, it’s going the way of the dinosaurs. Unpublished. It’s not that I don’t like the stories, but they’ve done their time and I’m currently looking at finding a few more shorter stories to make a new anthology. … Continue reading Going, going … soon to be gone

Rescue and Redemption – here, already!

Originally posted on Frank Prem Poetry:
It was a bit of a shock to me last evening when I realised that Rescue and Redemption is slotted for release in its paperback form in a day or so, and the e-book version at the end of the month, I knew these things, of course, because in…

Diaballein by Cage Dunn – Review

Originally posted on A Unique Title For Me:
I like Cage’s writing, she is very intelligent and she is a master at keeping her readers in suspense, never giving anything right away, she will make you work to find out what is going on, and you will develop questions along the way.  I am not…

Diaballein, Chapter 3

The rumble in his stomach was the loudest sound despite the gravel tapping his head and shoulders. Kano raised his hands to protect his face. Where was he? He wasn’t near the black rock. Not far away. The split of the gorge was visible in the otherwise dune-like ridges in the landscape, but only the … Continue reading Diaballein, Chapter 3

Diaballein, Chapter 2

2. Nine-thousand, five hundred square kilometres of lake. Millions of birds. No people. The perfect setting for Eyza. She lifted the flap of the tent and stared out at the reflection of Kati Thanda-Lake Eyre, breathed in the silence and solitude. Clear sky. No rain today. Maybe she should forget to pack her rain gear. … Continue reading Diaballein, Chapter 2

Is there an emoji for a jaw drop? Go Bears!

I’ve spoken before about my attempts at creating a picture book, and how I’ve proceeded with the Bakery Bears, to the point where the two little books I’ve created out of the set pictures and responses that I had available to work with. Well, they are both listed on…

Diaballein

Or here: Books2Read 1. The ghost gums didn’t respond to the movement in the ground. They retained stillness, leaves held tight. Not a branch cracked, nor a twig dropped, not a single exhalation of breath escaped the stomata. The trunks glimmered. The dual light of the moon and its reflection on the still water refracted … Continue reading Diaballein

The Noses!

This isn’t a post. It’s a terrifying moment. There are a lot of people on the wires, pictures of hundreds and thousands of people in close proximity, doing something powerful. Some are wearing masks, some not. But some of the people wearing masks don’t cover the nose! It might be fine if the nose was … Continue reading The Noses!

Timber and Decks

There are so many shows on telly and other tubes about houses, restoration, renovations, and so on, that I don’t expect to see some of the things I see. Looking at houses for sale, looking at how people do nice stuff to make their homes attractive, and the things that stick out to me aren’t … Continue reading Timber and Decks
