Another full manuscript is making its way out into the world shortly, plus a proposal. And my lovely agent has something else. So I am writing new things. Without totally [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s very funny to listen to myself, let alone watch myself talk. I use my hands. Let me rephrase that&#8230; I use my hands A LOT. We covered a wide range of subjects in [...]]]></description>

Life, of course, and a bit of a whirl on ideas, research, rewrites etc. The research bit is what I&#8217;m thinking most of today. As a writer I&#8217;m continually researching. I want to know how everything happened (luckily I married an  engineer [...]]]></description>

Today (or at least that&#8217;s the plan), after the pre-requisite trips to the green-grocer, butcher and supermarket for anything we can&#8217;t source elsewhere, after the cooking of dinners and the referee-ing of small children, I&#8217;m going to try to decide what I&#8217;ll work on next. This should be easy (I always [...]]]></description>
