MY PUBLISHING JOURNEY – SAME OLD?

I won’t give a personal update this week because quite frankly this week has been pretty much the same as the last, and the one before that. I’m sure you all know what I mean. If it wasn’t for my writing I think I might go mad. However the pandemic means I’m in a great […]

GOODBYE 2020 – A YEAR IN REVIEW

Despite the constant background of the pandemic which meant new ways of working, cancelled events and appearances and the continual bad news, 2020 has been a very productive year for my writing. I released three books and two audiobooks, but those are just the headlines. I also wrote two novellas and completed the edit of […]

MY PUBLISHING JOURNEY – OVERTAKEN BY EVENTS
