It’s not you, it’s me –
Maybe Warning – soapbox ahead Lately, I have been finding it hard to read. Except for a few authors whose stories are safe bets, I’ve found myself not wanting to finish books or continue series that I once loved. The big question I had to ask myself was, why? The answer was simple: some of…
Begin as you mean to go on…
Which is exactly what I did this New Year’s Day. I spent some time in the garden and some time straightening up the house and doing some cooking. I also spent a little time drawing. But more importantly, to my mind at least, I was able to daydream a bit and get some words down…
Endings, beginnings, and new adventures
I feel it’s safe to say that this has been a bit of a rollercoaster year, complete with ups, downs, and loop-the-loops. It started off with a lot of uncertainty and frustration.

I am so looking forward to reading this!
A.J. Lancaster’s books never fail to delight! If you have ever read any of my reviews (or any of my own books for that matter) then you know I am a sucker for stories with beautiful imagery, interesting worlds and endearing characters. Her books have all of these! So you can see why I am…
Pictures – Into the woods
When I was growing up, I often explored the land around where I lived, usually on horseback. I would pack some snacks or a lunch and go out riding through the pine woods and along the white sandy roads. Sadly, many of those woods and wild places are gone, but thankfully not all of them.…
