Shelter In Atlanta

While I sat there in the shelter and waited for my phone to charge, I observed my surroundings. There were an awful lot of people there seeking out help. It was amazing, to me, how many families showed up looking for beds. I felt so bad for them, mine was a temporary situation, theirs was…

Mr Clown In Atlanta

After taking an expensive taxi to the Atlanta Bus Station, I walked inside to the Kiosk to print out my ticket. The machine wasn’t working properly, so I went to the desk. The sweet customer service printed off my ticket and made sure which gate I knew to get in. I went to sit down…

Rockpools on Brancaster Beach

Last month, my family and I enjoyed a holiday in North Norfolk. We stayed in the beautiful, picturesque town of Wells-Next-The-Sea, and enjoyed walks along the seafront, days on the beach, and explored all sorts of hidden places and local nature reserves. There is something about the beach, and the sea, that brings peace. I…

Love

Love Hurts. Love Kills. Love Redeems. The Darkness of Love. Those are the titles of my first four published novels. Does that tell you a little bit about my experiences of being in love? I think so. Now, before you get all sympathetic, let me tell you that I am actually happily married. It isn’t…

Impatient

Most people think of me as a very calm and contained person. Outwardly, I suppose I am. Inwardly, however, I am a whirl of chaos, currently ruled by impatience. I am impatient with my children when they get under my feet. I am impatient with my husband when he won’t do the jobs I request…

Friends and Family

I am blessed to be surrounded by a very loving family, and a wonderful circle of friends who will always be there when I need them. In fact, I would go so far as to say I am abundant in friendship, which is a fabulous feeling. Since having children, my local group of friends has…

Daydreamer

Ah, how wonderful it is to daydream! It sometimes feels like my only form of escape, the one activity that keeps me sane on those days when I feel every inch the downtrodden housewife. I know I made my choice to live like this, and I know the reasons why, but still I yearn for…

Creative Crafts

Good morning! Today I will talk about being a creative person. My art is writing. I know that I am good at my craft. I don’t have any specific accreditations to show off, but I have always had an intuitive way with words. I love to be creative with my writing. That is why I…

Book Lover

I love books. It comes with the territory of being a writer, I reckon. My fondest childhood memories involve visits to our local library and afternoons spent curled up on the sofa or in my bedroom, devouring the pages of my beloved books. I even used to imagine I could be like Matilda from the…
