It’s Never Too Late to Realise a Dream
For me, my dream came true when I took early retirement from teaching after thirty four years at the chalk face and pursued my dream to become a published author. When I retired a colleague gave me a pillow embroidered with: May All Your Dreams Come True and since then I’ve done my best to make it happen.
So far, it’s been a great journey.
I joined the Romantic Novelists’ Association as a member of the New...

The 20′s Girl, The Ghost and All That Jazz by June Kearns

The 20′s Girl, the ghost, and all that jazz by June Kearns
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This book was delightful, I read it in less than 24 hours. Set in 1924 the book covers two extremely different settings. Firstly the English Shires, lush, green, damp and a place short of men after the War and the Flu epidemic. Secondly Texas, vast, hot and dry, full of rough men and cattle.
