A
Great Guy
There’s a damp chill in the air as I sit in my
battered throne, wide-eyed, smiling… presiding. Such a good vantage point to
watch the firework display.
The crowds are gathering in their families now.
Small children brandishing wands of neon light, giggling as they leave brief
imprints of lime green, turquoise and pink against the twilight sky.
There’s a buzz in the atmosphere, a...

SmutUK
On Saturday 24th October I went to Manchester to attend a Smut Uk convention at the Bangkok Bar and Restaurant. It was a super day with lots of talks and things to buy. I had a wonderful time choosing some very provocative jewelry from the Nippleicious stall. Check out their website at www.nippleicious.co.uk
It was great for me to meet other authors and for anyone out there who loves really dark...

The Clock of Tranquility
Now the nights are growing longer, I love spending an extra ten minutes or so snuggled under my duvet before getting up. As I love the works of Edward Monkton, I wrote this 50 word story as a homage to his writing style
The
Clock of Tranquillity
“Good
Morning. It is six thirty,” says the Clock.
I
open one eye, “So I must get up now?”
“No,
you must stay in bed a little longer to

Book Launch at Write Blend
The book launch at Write Blend on 14th August went really well. Thank you so much to my closest friends, my friends from the Formby Writers Club and also from the Poetry events at the Bier House at St Peter's Church. Most of all a big thank you to Tony Higginson who hosted the evening and compiled a great CD comprising all the songs he could think of that related to Red Shoes.

Launch on 7th August
What a weekend! Friday 7 August was my very first book launch. I had a great turnout with loads of support from my friends at work. They even bought me gorgeous bouquet of deep red roses from that S & M store (oops - should have said M&S!)
One of the ladies who visited was none other than the mum of the guy who runs McGuffies. I was very, very touched. Thank you so much for your support....

A Sea Encounter - A short story to enjoy
A
Sea Encounter
Tony stood on the
ship’s deck, gazing out into the misty darkness. The sea was as calm as a
millpond, and there was a bitter chill in the air. He strained his ears. He
thought he could hear a haunting melody across the sea. He shook his head. What
was he thinking of ? There was absolutely nothing out there. It must be whale
song.
He turned his thoughts
to his own special friend...
Attraction - A Poem to enjoy
Attraction
Music playing softly,
He gently takes my hand;
Pulls my hips closer to him,
Swaying slowly to the band.
Was that seconds, hours, days before
I was enticed into his lair?
Hypnotised by seductive eyes,
Whilst playing with my hair.
My thoughts were numb with pleasure,
As garments layered on the ground.
Acquiescing to his will,
Breathing, my only sound.
As he kissed...

The Back Story
Behind every story there is always a back story and this is mine.
I married in the early eighties. It was a time of innocence and naivety, which seems inconceivable today. Fourteen years later, I was still just as naïve about life and also incredibly unhappy, so I plucked up the courage to divorce and launch myself into a very unknown future. It was like throwing a pack of cards up in the air and...
