Trials and Tribulations Part 2
Put the kettle on and make yourself a cup of tea while I tell you the story of how I got my 3rd Dan in taekwondo. And I announce the winner of my competition …
Last week I left you mid-description, comparing my 3rd Dan grading in taekwondo to giving birth. Not that I’d know of course, but I know what enduring a Dan grading is like – I've done three of them and my stretch marks are yellow stripes on a black belt.
Months of preparation went into the training, and then there’...

Trials and Tribulations Part 1
It’s competition time! Read on to win a copy of The Writers and Artists Yearbook 2013 and find out the link between a writing event, doing my 3rd Dan grading and reading a book about North Korea.
Well they say things go in threes and in the past three weeks, there have been three interesting things that have happened to me. I've said three too many times, three times in fact, three! Agh!
The thing is, they've all taken a part in making me look at things dif...

Star Trek, Wine and the Internet
This week I've been putting off all those jobs in favour of messing around on the internet …
I have to confess, I am looking forward to mid-May and the release of the new Star Trek film. I’m a bit of a fan. I don’t profess to having been to any conventions, nor do I like dressing up as any of the characters because I’m an adult and I understand that the programme is make-believe. However, I have seen all the episodes and I know that a Klingon isn't a clear...

Once Upon a Time in Iran …
I've been a bit busy but I'm back and currently working on a new story that I'm pretty much making up as I go along. Never fear, there'll be a ghost in it! Meanwhile, I had a trip down memory lane today ...
There is a little known fact about myself that I don’t often share with people. You all know about my love of the TV programme The Avengers, Cadbury’s giant chocolate buttons, taekwondo and my badly kept secret job.
I’m currently on my over-long holidays from the secret job and I've been...

The Ghost Hunters Return
It’s shameless self-publicity time! I've been a busy bee and I've got another novel out – it’s the sequel to The Ghost Hunters Club and I've cunningly called it The Ghost Hunters Return. Clever huh?At last, the last T was dotted and the last I was crossed. Oh hang on, I've been making like a ghost hunter and had a couple of glasses of wine. But the idea was conceived about twenty months ago, about six months after I first finished The...

The Ghost Hunters Meet Rathbone Kydd
I’m breaking all the blogging rules by posting something that is longer than a thousand words but it’s a Ghost Hunters Club special, so make a cup of tea, sit down, snigger and enjoy …
The time is drawing closer, the world is holding its breath as the UK takes centre stage of the greatest show on earth. Oh hang on, I’m getting mixed up, that was the Olympics. But the world’s most talented and beautiful screen stars are gathering in Hollywood, waiting with baited breath, agh no silly me,...

The Little Camera
This week sees the release of my third novel: The Little Camera, which is suitable for young adults and adults – but always make sure you check the title first …
Now dear readers, I have a writer’s tale of caution to tell. It concerns the creation of my first novel that I have just rewritten and published on Amazon. Crikey, I've got more plugs than a bathroom shop. Anyway, the story concerns a disaffected youth who has to do community service tidying the garden of a...

Snowmageddon!
The end of civilisation is coming to the Fens, time to arm myself and go panic buying …
If you are British, then you may want to gather your family, batten down the hatches and check your survival packs. You need to stock pile food, fuel and milk. Don’t forget the milk, if you run out of that YOU WILL DIE! God forbid if you can’t have your Sugar Puffs in the morning.
You see this week; we witnessed the start of Armageddon. In the Fens we had at least one or two inches of...

What a Carry On!
Ding dong! It’s a brand new year; I’m full of the joys of spring and I’m feeling frisky, despite the snow. And I've got a couple of new books coming out …
Christmas was a bit of a blip for me. I drank a lot, ate a lot, got given some random presents blah blah. The one highlight was that the Yesterday channel showed a marathon session of Carry On Films. The great British comic institution.
I've got a few friends from America and Canada and although we spea...

That Was the Year that Was
2012 is nearly over and I’m feeling all reflective, like the shiny bits on the straps of my rucksack or the actual reflective bits on my new bike. I take road safety seriously.
Another year has passed and I’m just a bit closer to death. Now I say that like it’s a bad thing but I’m friends with the most excellent authors C L Raven and they make all things Gothic super cool. So when I’ve popped my clogs, I’ll be partying in the afterlife with them like its 1899. I've also...
