Work in Progress (April 2015)

Missed last month, didn’t I?  I’m afraid there wasn’t much to report.  Here’s the state of play now: Magical Weddings I ended up abandoning the story I talked about last time, because I just didn’t feel it was working.  Hopefully I’ll be able to return to it later on. Instead, I decided to try something […]

C-Section Shame

Apparently there’s a “Christian” group on Facebook who’ve been posting things claiming women who have c-sections don’t really give birth (and worse – don’t google it if you’ve had one).  This whole c-section = failure thing is something I’ve been bothered about ever since I became aware of it.  I think it’s the stupidest thing […]

The nominees are books they have reviewed that they felt “stood out from the pack as exceptional examples of Indie (self-published and small press) writing”, so I’m feeling quite […]

What I’m Reading (Feb 15)

Missed a couple of months, haven’t I?  It’s amazing how long it can take to get going again after the Christmas “break” (yeah, not in this family). Anyway, mostly I’ve been working my way through the books of Julia Quinn.  I managed to borrow her new one, The Secrets of Sir Richard Kenworthy, from the […]

How Old do You Need to be to Understand the Word ‘No’?

Someone posted a link on Facebook to a story about a mother’s reaction to her daughter’s bra strap being undone by a boy at school and it reminded me of an incident from my own past. Now, I don’t seem to have the greatest memory for my childhood.  My mother despairs of how much seems […]

Work in Progress – Feb 15

Parker Sisters 3 I’m delighted to tell you that I have finished the first draft of this book.  It’s still pretty rough in places and I expect it to go through at least two more drafts before I’m happy with it, but I now have a complete story to work with. I expect it to […]
