End Of Summer Blog Hop - Pippa's Post

The in-between seasons of autumn and spring are my favourite times of the year, rather than the extremes of summer and winter. The autumn sun isn't the skin-burning blast of summer, and the landscape shifts from bright green to shades of red, gold and copper. There's the smell of damp leaf mould, the scent of bonfires and people using their indoor wood burners for the first time. Not being woken up at stupid o'clock in the morning by the early sunrise. Even if if also means rain, chilly morni...

For many who have worked one on one with CEOs, the question is laughable. Yet, there are those who believe a CEO remains calm and steady.
I’ve worked closely with four CEO’s.Two were certifiably crazy. One was a dim bulb, the other a smart bulb.(One of those crazy CEOs became our Secretary of Defense for a time)Another of the four CEOs seemed a bit psychotic. He was always insisting someone...

Falling into Romance - Love Among the Stars

I love to write and read romance set against the background of exotic worlds and alternate timelines, be the lovers human or otherworldly, or both.

Keir paused and his breath caught as the dappled light touched the woman sprawled across the bed under a woven blanket in shades of blue. Deep in sleep, tousled red hair...
