I've written a piece for the April 2017 edition of Media Magazine about the representation of the alt-Reich in The Man in the High Castle, and it touches upon how the Nazis are presented in the series. In this blog post, however, I wanted to explore something a little different, which is the presentation of what has rapidly… Continue reading Dancing with the devil…

The Urge to Purge…
There are certain times of year when it hits me. January 1st tends to be one. The month of September is another. January is a no-brainer; too much wine, chocolate, not enough exercise, and an influx of new things into the house make me want to sort through the old stuff, spring clean and get… Continue reading The Urge to Purge…

Time for another photo shoot…
I'm so lucky that when I need someone to take a decent photograph, I can call on the talents of Ol'bird Photography (aka my good friend Carly) to oblige :). Last year she took some shots of me by the late apple trees for my agent, and this year she's taken some new shots of… Continue reading Time for another photo shoot…
Time to shout about it…

Aria will be releasing my first novel, 'The Second Chance… Continue reading Time to shout about it…
Heartaches and Heart breaks
Hearts break easily, don't they? Especially when you're a teenager. While writing my first novel, I made several references to being a teenager, and the exquisite pain-pleasure of being a teenager in love. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't writing from experience! Teen love is an intoxicating thing. I fell in love twice… Continue reading Heartaches and Heart breaks
Pen names and Personalities
My writer friend Jenny Kane has been musing on her blog lately about being lots of people at once, at least in terms of pen names. She has more aliases than you can shake a stick (of sugar or, indeed a sex toy, depending on which of her works you're reading!) at, and it's a… Continue reading Pen names and Personalities
Deep Breath, new start?
I seem to have a lot of 'new starts'; at least one a week, at the moment. Generally, they're food and health related, but often they can be creative, work or household based, or a combination of all of them! So I've decided that this blog post today will be a slightly different 'new start'.… Continue reading Deep Breath, new start?
Writing, Writers and yet more Tinker Tailor Musings…
This week has been quite a productive one, on the whole. Term is now in full swing, and work has been settling into manageable patterns, for the most part. I've also had a night out with the South West chapter of the Romantic Novelists' Association, which is always fun, inspiring and a real boost to… Continue reading Writing, Writers and yet more Tinker Tailor Musings…
