Well, of late, a lot. Which means of course, that I haven't been blogging. But then life can get in the way. The good news is that the colouring book for kids is almost ready... Just need a few more proof reads and then it will be hitting a shelf near you. Then there is… Continue reading What’s been happening?

Anything about the Masters in Creative Writing and Scriptwriting
PT Barnum and the Greatest Showman
I don't normally write reviews, but this is something to do with my Ph.D. I want to show that environment has more to do with writing tales than people realise. There are spoilers in here so only read on if you have seen it. How does this equate to The Greatest Showman? Well, the cast that is… Continue reading PT Barnum and the Greatest Showman
What to do?
I am actually going to study for a Ph.D.! But this means a certain amount of writing that is taken up with research. I want to keep you all abreast of it but do I just create another button, or do I open a new blog...? Is anyone interested in 19th-century asylums?
Update
I have been missing and for that I apologise. Sorry... It was Easter and we went away for a while. Loved that. It was so nice... It was a great few days with us going from Weston Super Mare to Bath. We both needed a recharge and we did that. But before the trip I'd… Continue reading Update
PhD’s

Nineteenth Century industrialisation and disability... Sounds boring? It isn't. Imagine being about to interview the disabled from two centuries ago. There would be some that couldn't… Continue reading PhD’s

I wondered for a moment what to do but then I realised the Natural History section was open so… Continue reading Cardiff – Commissions – Valentine’s
The Drawing Board
It's tricky being in two places at once. Leaves my head a little disjointed and unable to settle. This means that I don't get the work done I ought to. I slow and become lethargic... How do I change? I have to be comfortable. Luckily, I have the best partner and he is happy to… Continue reading The Drawing Board
2018 so far…
It's hard to be an author... You can spend months, if not years, writing a book. You plough every bit of yourself into it. But that doesn't mean it will jump off the shelf or find an audience. So you have to market, all the time. I can do it but I get tired. My… Continue reading 2018 so far…
The Day After
So we had been in Marrakesh or a week and finally landed... Time to relax over the weekend - right? Nope... We had other ideas. You see my partner is the lead singer in Some Weird Sin, a punk rock band that has reformed after 30 years, and they had a gig.... in Knighton. So… Continue reading The Day After
My Birthday Trip
It was my birthday!!!! Now normally it would pass quietly and with no hassle but this year I have a fella, a guy who decided it was time to celebrate my birthday. Now I know he will hate this but here he is - my Roland... He will be cropping up in my photos... So… Continue reading My Birthday Trip
