That twisted knife of self-doubt…

What is it about doubt? As a writer, actually I am going to assume anyone, but especially in the artistic field, we have this doubt that is always creeping in. I write my books with the full understanding that not everyone that reads them will love them. There will always be someone that just didn’tContinue reading “That twisted knife of self-doubt…”

Marvel’s Stan Lee…RIP

I have spent the best of my life being entertained by this mans imagination. I was never a fan of comics, but the films made from Stan’s creations, have given me hours of entertainment. Just recently, my wife and I, watched Venom at the cinema. We have one of those membership cards where we canContinue reading “Marvel’s Stan Lee…RIP”

Christmas jólabókaflóð?

I thought it sounded like a brilliant idea. Just around the start of December, every household will receiveContinue reading “Christmas jólabókaflóð?”

So, I did the next best thing and wrote out the What if story that had been floating about inContinue reading “Blog Hop-Writing my first novel!”

The Doll Maker

My next venture into the world of self-publishing will see me release my first murder mystery! I’ve always been a fan of them and read them voraciously for years, never assuming that I could actually write one. They are quite different from the usual romance genre that I love. But, I challenged myself to giveContinue reading “The Doll Maker”

Lazy days and sunny rays

So, as I lie in my bed; laptop actually on my lap, gazing out of the window at the clouds drifting in across the bay of Naples, I realise that I am ready to come home. It’s been lovely. I have spent time relaxing, sunning myself and eating far too much. I even managed toContinue reading “Lazy days and sunny rays”
