I haven’t posted anything for some time… sorry, but LIFE seems to have somehow gotten in the way. Having just finished a ten day bout of flu, I have just been prescribed a course of antibiotics because I have sinusitis. GREAT! Before that, it was desperately needed work on the house, a family funeral, as well as all the normal things: looking after one sick child; taking her to school,
Dragons, hockey, adventure, mayhem, twists and turns…………….all the things I seem to dream about. I go to bed tired, and at some point find myself caught up in the plot of the series of books I’m trying to write. Whether it’s something tiny and detailed that the entire storyline hinges on, an overall feature or direction that the plot should take, homing in on a particular character trait, trying to
My friend and thriller writer extraordinaire Eric Gates has tagged me in a little game called Meet My Main Character Blog Tour The Rules are simple… …the taggee must write a post answering the same seven questions about their Main Character… then the taggee becomes the tagger and chooses five other authors… sort of like a chain letter with all the potential to become a global virus. 1.

First of all, I must say ***SPOILER ALERT!*** For those of you who haven’t read the books of the Star Wars Expanded Universe (now apparently not canon) the following will contain graphic information regarding plots, characters, twists and turns, as well as my favourite bits.

One of my favourite bits about this post is that I get to add lots of great Star Wars pictures to it. Enjoy! Checking through my social media late last night, something bright and sparkly caught my eye. It was a short video clip about the Star Wars Expanded Universe (EU). Normally not one to watch video clips online, this intrigued me, so I clicked with my mouse and started
The Legend of Finndragon’s Curse is an original and unique fantasy adventure, which will appeal primarily to older children and teens, but also adult readers who like a bit of escapism. It is the story of three ordinary children, Emma, Megan, Scott and their pet dog Bones in their quest to find their father, who has been missing for nearly a year. The story is based on an ancient Welsh
It never really happened for me at school, well, not with reading anyway. I studied English literature up to A level standard, but not at any point did a book we read inspire me. There were, of course, all the usual suspects, such as Shakespeare, in all shapes and forms, and ‘Of Mice And Men’ which I remember vividly……but nothing in any of them set my imagination ablaze, sent goose
Following his harrowing and near death experience at the talons of the evil dragon Manson in ‘A Threat From The Past’, Peter Bentwhistle, the human shaped dragon and reluctant hero, finds himself on the slow path to recovery. Helped by his dragon friends, Tank and Richie (both in their human forms), he finds solace in his new found friendship with the dragon king. But the three friends are soon unwittingly drawn
A Little About You………. From an early age I knew I wanted to write a children’s book. My imagination for such a book was cultivated as my family didn’t have a lot of money and my older brother and I were encouraged to use our imaginations to entertain ourselves. And use them we did – climbing trees and tree forts, using a quilt for a matchbox car city, making puppets
