busy-ness
Been busy shading under a tree while this same-sex marriage survey blows over. But in fact I’ve been trying my hand at greeting card writing. For those writers of you out there it might go against the grain, so to speak – probably flies in the face of what ‘real’ writing is all about. See! […]

Do we…?
Do we spend Life learning how to Live and the next life living the life we Learnt?
My first time
It happened. I’d heard people talk about it, in writing groups and elsewhere, but had never felt the emotion that overtakes when it happens to you. The other day, a friend of mine rang me up and said; “Guess what? Your book isn’t in the book-store.” “Of course not,” I replied. Patience, dear friend, patience. […]
