The Queen of twist
Candy Korman is best known for her Monster novellas, but she is also a highly talented short story writer, and her stories always have a twist at the end. I’ve read quite a few of them now, so I know what to expect, yet the twists still take me by surprise. I particularly enjoyed this one, […]

Vokhtah’s 11th review!
Vokhtah has been out for just over a year now, and seemed to be stuck on 10 wonderful reviews, hardly surprising given the lack of promotion on my part. So you can imagine my surprise when I had a look on Amazon this morning… and discovered another review! And a good one at that. :) […]

Astor Piazzolla and Nuevo Tango – ole!
It’s Sunday morning Downunder, and I’ve discovered a new music to love! To be honest, Bluey of Bluebird Blvd discovered Astor Piazzolla, [thanks Bluey!] so I can’t take any credit, but I will try to spread the love. :) If Latin American music and rhythms are not your thing, stick your fingers in your ears […]

How to transfer photos from Samsung Galaxy S2, ver 4.1.2

Yet another reason to be an Indie
Another one of my articles is live on Indies Unlimited : ‘Do you secretly dream of being traditionally published? When someone you know is offered a contract, do you experience a moment of intense envy? Do you smile, and say ‘congratulations’ while silently screaming ‘why not me’? Don’t worry, your dirty little secret is safe […]

Working with Children Check – step-by-step
Most community based learning centres have some programs for children, so most community centres require volunteers [and paid staff] to be cleared for working with children. Given the horrific tales of child abuse all over the media, I agree that vetting adults who work with children is a good idea. Unfortunately the implementation of that good […]

Fire – what it’s really like
Sometimes fate works in unexpected ways! Fire season is almost over again for another year, but the close calls this season prompted me to buy a novel called ‘The Spark’. It’s a fictional story with an incredible ring of authenticity to it because it’s written by a bonafide fire-fighter, John Kenny. Kenny is Canadian, not […]

Volunteering to get a job
No, sorry, I don’t have a paying job, yet. I am doing work though, as a volunteer, and that means I have my foot in a couple of doors. How so? Well, it harks back to that old saying – it’s not what you know, it’s who you know. When you send out a CV, or a […]

Dr Jekyll and Dr Hyde
The Robert Louis Stevenson classic, ‘The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde’ tells the story of Dr Jekyll and his beastly alter ego Mr Hyde. It’s an old story, and there have been many versions of it brought to the big screen – over 123 according to Wiki – but the version I […]
