So I’m in an aeroplane. We are thousands of feet above mother earth. I look out the window and read this little gem printed on the wing… ‘Do not walk outside this area’ Oh really? Why ever not? I’m so glad they put that out there, because you know – I was just about to head out […]

Indulgence…
It is 10:13pm, Friday night. Today started at 5am and marched on at the relentless pace of an army on the trail of the enemy. I’m tired and cranky and feeling somewhat out of sorts. So I’m going to indulge. Is that the sound of taps and bubble bath… I hear you ask… HECK NO! […]
Read moreStop the drama and pass the spinach please
After all the drama of the weekend, I’m super-happy to post some down-to-earth, regular-but-exciting writing news. That last bit sorta rhymes… hmmm. Relax, I’m not about to sprout poetry at you, but I do want to share some progress. It is time for an update for those of you who cheered me on as I announced […]

Read moreOf polar bears and other disasters
The best laid plans of mice and er, polar bears? This poor bear has had better days, I’m sure. When I think back on this week – I can sympathize. This week has been a writing fail of EPIC PROPORTIONS. And yes, all those capital letters are on purpose. I mean every one. I […]
Read moreShhhhhhhhh!
My house is quiet. Everyone is safely tucked in bed dreaming whatever their day-weary brains are regurgitating for them. Me? I think I’m going to let my brain dribble out through my finger tips. Just a little. My house is tidy. I’ve done a bit of admin and some other bits that needed me and […]
You want to publish my book? No thanks!
I’ve either just made the best decision of my life – or the worst! I’ve walked a long journey with my novel Shackles. This journey includes being accepted for publication in South Africa by one of the three major Christian publishing houses – only to be told a year later that the market had changed […]
