  • Rhododendron Blooms to Brighten the Day

    Hi there! It’s been almost a month since my last post ?. A brief holiday to visit the in-laws down in England, combined with an extended run-in with illness and a nightmare migraine, has kept me away. But as the petals unfurl after a storm, I, too, am beginning to recover and lift my head…

  • Red-Capped Radiance: A Surprise Star from Pollock Country Park

    Today, my Flower of the Day (FOTD) is a bit unconventional but no less captivating. I stumbled upon this highly photogenic Amanita muscaria mushroom while on a stupendously long walk around Pollock Country Park with Jez.

    For many, many, many months, I’ve been working on the edits for Running the Asset. Much of the work I’ve been doing lately involves research, confirming facts, and location scouting.

  • Taking a Walk

    I?m still working on finalising Action Step 6 (the big re-do on the outline) for Running the Asset. It?s almost done, but I decided to get out for a wee walk to noodle through some plot points. So, here?s a photo from my walk. (Trying to get a bit artistic with my iPhone camera ?)…

  • Author Journal: From Cranky Characters to Passionate Plot Points

    17th August 2023 Welcome back for another Author Journal update. It?s starting to look like I?m on a roll with these; three weeks and counting! Woohoo! Life?s Wee Interruptions Last week, the plumbing issues worsened to the point that it became obvious it was a far bigger problem than we?d thought. It turns out our…
