Well that’s done – Christmas, I mean. I hope those of you who celebrate it had a wonderful time, and that those of you who don’t but have to do it anyway didn’t get too stressed. I spent some time on Sunday thinking of the people who are alone through no fault of their own and wishing that they found some peace and enjoyment even in their solitude. For the ones who don’t pay attention to Christmas at all, I hope you enjoy your own special days as and whe...

Today in the Comfy Chair – Michelle Peart

In November, at Manifold Press’s Queer Company event, I was delighted to meet new-to-me author Michelle Peart who was attending with her family. Michelle’s debut New Adult novel had just been released and it looks absolutely terrific.

Welcome Michelle!

When I was at school I was a shy kid who tried to disappear into the walls. But I was highly artistic with a vivid imagination an...

Got word today that a family further upstream, the MacDonald’s got washed out completely while they were asleep. Ma, Pa, three little ones all gone. I hope it was quick. I hope they never knew.

Ma said that when people began to spread out over the range there were times when whole families died and no one know why. Sickness...

The contest and find raising are organised and administered by the peerless Elisa Rolle, author, blogger and reviewer, who must have a thing fo...

Sunday Serial

Looks like the storm blew out over night. Everything’s washed clean, even the hog pen, but the cows and ponies look sad and battered, poor things. The best of the saddle horses and the milk cows were in shelter, so they were...

A Certain Persuasion – author interview with Sandra Lindsey

My guest today is a fellow resident of this green and deliciously damp corner of the UK – a place that has more sheep than people and it’s own language, mostly made up of vowels. She also writes a cracking historical!

She’s here today in celebration of the release of A Certain Persuasion – an anthology of Austenesque stories from Manifold Press.

Welcome Sandra!

Jane Austen’s grasp of the English language is justly celebrated. Is there any part that you can quote for us that you particularly r...
