Valentine’s Stories!

I usually loath tales based around holidays, but I’m trying to be a kinder, fluffier, all together more celebratory person for 2021, so I have put aside my cynicism and generalised rage and put together a few stories that feature Valentine’s Day for you! Thank you so much to the authors who joined in! There … Continue reading "Valentine’s Stories!"

The Week That Was

I’m decluttering this week. I turned out bags of old clothes and shoes last weekend and sent them to the recycling point, courtesy of Mr AL. This weekend it’s broken games to the bin and others to the village giveaway group. It’s a very nice feeling, clearing out the old things. We have so much … Continue reading "The Week That Was"

the thing with feathers

This week has been hellish. Being shut in the house with two wildly differently-abled kids, attempting to support one with Year Eight home learning and keep the other occupied and safe when she can’t be left unsupervised is just…great. I’m a hundred percent certain that other families have it just as hard–the one with six … Continue reading "the thing with feathers"

a surprise release: Playing Chicken

St Dwnywen, the Welsh St Valentine! Since we’ve been locked down again, I’ve been going slowly bonkers…I’m sure many of you can relate! Instead of getting on with my planned out Dr Sylvia Marks 1920s paranormal trilogy, which involves thinking quite hard about timelines and chronology and brain-melting stuff, I distracted myself by writing a … Continue reading "a surprise release: Playing Chicken"
