For my latest blog, I decided to take some inspiration from a radio show/podcast called ‘Tracks of My Years’ and take a bookish spin on it. The below list is not of my favourite books of all time (although some may fit into that category), but more the books that shaped me throughout my lifeContinue reading “Mar 2025 – Books of My Years”

Feb 2025 – My Commitment to the Library
This month’s blog comes in a bit later than planned, for which I apologise to anyone who is so keen to hear from me that they may be disappointed. We had a bereavement in the family, so other priorities have taken precedence, however, I will share this one and try to ensure I get March’sContinue reading “Feb 2025 – My Commitment to the Library”

2024 Plans Blog – 1st of Many?
I posted a blog previously of my big plans for 2023 and needless to say failed in many of the categories. Sometimes as an upcoming, independent writer (with a full time job and family commitments) the best laid plans don’t always come off. This hasn’t detracted me from setting goals for this year, and weContinue reading “2024 Plans Blog – 1st of Many?”
Book of the Year – A quick blog
Having just completed reading my 20th book of the year, now comes the time to pick my book of the year. I know that I’m about 200 books short of being a proper Book Blogger or be in a position to become a BookTuber, I have many other commitments, a full time job and IContinue reading “Book of the Year – A quick blog”
Music and Crime Fiction
I wrote in my last blog about how important music is to my writing and I wanted to expand on it in my latest blog. So let me start with a confession, I wanted to be a rock star. I taught myself how to play guitar around 30 years ago and the guitar has alwaysContinue reading “Music and Crime Fiction”
