A bit of news, some special offers on other sci-fi books and a little bit more from McMini.
August 5, 2017Mind Expansion Anyone? #McMini #kids #parenting #children
Over the holidays I thought it would be fun to tell some of the funny stories about my family. There is ‘Catching Socks’, ‘Night of the Homeless Man’, ‘Tale of the Drowning Toddler’ and a famous one about my Mum for which I have no title, as yet. However, I thought I would leave that for later because obviously, it […]
July 29, 2017When the luck unicorn farts …
You’d better be ready. Yes, smashing things are afoot, in writing world anyway, and for once it’s not me blundering into something and breaking it. Something unusual and rather wonderful has happened this week, my book, Escape From B‑Movie Hell has been accepted for a bookbub promotion. Now, I can imagine you might be thinking, ‘Mmm yes […]
July 21, 2017Meh and un-meh. Thoughts, ramblings and a progress report.
It’s confession time. I’ve been in a bit of a slump recently because we’ve reached a new stage in Dad’s illness and I’m still adjusting to the grimness. If someone you love has dementia then there will be stuff they say when you know it’s the illness speaking, rather than them. Over the last three of four months, […]
July 15, 2017This week, I have been mostly thinking about #marketing #bookmarketing #indiereads

Eyebombing: the art of spreading googly joy Saddled as we are with a thoroughly grim world landscape right now I thought everyone could do with a bit of cheering up. So it occurred to me that it would be fun to start a group about one of my favourite hobbies, eyebombing, possibly with a view to doing a book later on […]

My thoughts on the London Bridge attack.
June 4, 2017A Charming Child: guest post by the inestimable Tallis Steelyard #newbooks
What can I say? We have a guest, my writer friend Jim, Webster, along with the inimitable, the one and only Tallis Steelyard is here to tell us a little tale. Thank you Tallis and Jim, for stepping in and giving me something to share with everyone at the end of a week when gastroenteritis has left me short. […]
May 27, 2017Welcome to my GORGEOUS Life! On humorous giveaways and being embarrassed by your kids.
Jeez, well, this week’s been interesting. Welcome to what the lovely Dame Edna Everage would call, ‘my gorgeous life’ in all it’s technicolour glory! (Phnark.) So, this week McMini had pukka actual gastroenteritis. He started feeling ill, was sick a lot, and then he was sick a bit more and then, just for a change he was sick […]
