Another 5* review sneeks onto the radar.

'Can I just say that I don't normally write comments or reviews, but I loved this book so much I kind of felt I had to.' 

This is just one of the wonderfully warm comments expressed by 'riellered' in her review of Encounters on Amazon.co.uk

I'm chuffed to bits.

I must be mad...

After the trials and tribulations of publishing Encounters, I promised myself that I wouldn't inflict any more of my poetic musings on the world at large. In fact, I haven't had a single creative thought in several weeks/months. That is to say I hadn't, until the wee small hours of Friday morning when, suffering the Mother of all headaches combined with a session of insomnia, I broke the creative drought.

Breaking the drought...

I have been so busy concentrating on getting my book Encounters 'Out there', that it has been quite some time since I tried to be creative and write something new.

So as I sit here, with the mother of all headaches and the time fast approaching 02.30 in the UK, what better use could I make of my time, other than to try and break this creative drought?

Forgive me folks, for I have sinned...

Forgive me folks, for I have sinned. It has been many weeks since my last post; I would venture to say that it feels much longer, but I know some who might say that it's 'Not been long enough!'

The truth is, I  had neither the time nor inclination for surfing the net or writing over the last month or so... been too busy with other aspects of life that just appeared to drain all energy. Anyway, in an attempt to rectify my lack of attention to all things writing, I have slowly been getting back in the saddle. (Again!)

I'm so excited! Another first... and a give away.

Hot on the heels of my poetry collection Encounters, comes my first interview.

Decisions, decisions...part 1

Putting a collection of poetry together for publication is no easy matter. Not only do you need to have written the poems in the first place, but you also need to decided on the theme and style you want your book to follow.
