I have a sweet tooth...

Ok Folks!

With St.Valentine's Day around the corner, I just thought I'd share a little 'Hallmark' moment of my own. Don't worry, this one is NOT a contender for the book! lol...

When floundering at lowest ebb,
one guiding light shines through.
You are my one eternal love...

my life, my hope, my truth.

Book Review - A Murder for Christmas (STAC Investigates)(Kindle edition) by David Robinson

This is the third book flying under the STAC Investigates colours, that I have had the pleasure to read.

This time around, we find Joe, Brenda, Sheila and the rest of the Sanford Third Age Club taking a festive break at the Regency Hotel in Leeds. Also in attendance are members of the Leodensian Historical Society.

Book Review - Tracy's Hot Mail - by T A Belshaw

Tracy is a new addition to the office. At Nineteen, she is a girl about town who knows it all, or so she thinks.

Book Review - Twisted Velvet Chains- by Jessica Bell

WOW...Where do I start?

The following is a prime example of this:

More news.

Just over one month ago, I was invited to join the editorial team for WRITELINK'S Christmas E-zine, 'WRITELINKERS'

Naturally, I jumped at the chance to work along side the more experienced members of the community's elite, Maureen Vincent-Northam and David Robinson, eager to glean what knowledge I could. And what an experience it turned out to be!

I'm back!

Forgive me, for it has been many, many months since my last post  / confession and much has happend during this time.

Firstly, I have had some competition success with a variety of my poetry. The most significant of which involved a CASH prize. (Yep...that's right, real money with the Queen's head, watermarks and everything!)
