Such a fab initiative - proud to be a part of such an awesome school (love, love, love the librarians!).
Christmas Telly: And Then There Were None.
No Christmas would be complete without a decent murder mystery. As John Robertson tweeted recently; 'The Brits love murder. It gives them something to do between Morris dancing and bitching about Morris dancing.' And, considering my affection for all things cosy crime related, from Agatha Christie to Lewis and Midsomer Murders, I was bound to… Continue reading Christmas Telly: And Then There Were None.

Throwback Texts: Stigmata (1999)
I was reminded of Stigmata this week, when my subconscious gave me a rather nice dream about the wonderfully charismatic Gabriel Byrne. I've always loved watching him onscreen, and for a long time, Stigmata was on my radar. The tale of a scientific priest, a lost gospel and a party girl who starts to exhibit the signs… Continue reading Throwback Texts: Stigmata (1999)
Slimming World: time to reflect
It's been a while since I've blogged about my weight loss progress, and that's because things have been going generally well, with a couple of blips along the way. Including, if I'm honest, this week so far! I got my 1 stone award a few weeks back, which was a real milestone, but I've been… Continue reading Slimming World: time to reflect
Throwback Texts: Sex, Lies and Videotape (and my vidding response to it).
A song came on in the car today that really got me into the mood for writing about the protagonists in my second novel, Sweeter than Cider, Jonathan and Caroline. It was Bryan Ferry's 'Slave to Love'. This is a song I've long loved, and a few years ago I made a fanvid for the film Sex, Lies… Continue reading Throwback Texts: Sex, Lies and Videotape (and my vidding response to it).
A little textual analysis: Return to Me, Grace and Bob’s reunion.
It's been one of those weekends where I need a little romance in my life! A week of poorly children, a cough and cold myself and a husband who, let's be honest, still needs a little bit of training into how to effectively stop children from trashing the house on his shift have made me… Continue reading A little textual analysis: Return to Me, Grace and Bob’s reunion.
I have a new two-book deal with Avon UK!
This is absolutely brilliant news! Well done, Sue - I can't wait to read the new books. 🙂
Throwback Texts: Return to Me (and another reason to love David Duchovny!)
I was looking through one of my Youtube channels last night, and I realised I hadn't thought about some of the texts that consumed me as a vidder for a very long time. To explain, what basically used to happen was that I'd watch something, a film or a TV show, and then, if it… Continue reading Throwback Texts: Return to Me (and another reason to love David Duchovny!)
Contrasts, Photographs and NaNoWriMo
I find myself in a kind of curious stasis, as regards Far From the Tree and Sweeter than Cider. The former is in the midst of a process that started in January, and, at the moment, its destiny isn't something I can influence - it all depends on how much it's liked by others! As for the… Continue reading Contrasts, Photographs and NaNoWriMo
