I’ve already put off the whole starting the New Year stuff until the 4th. That’s what happens when the 1st lands on a Friday. It felt better to get going once everyone was fully back to work. So here we are, on the 4th, and I’m already behind. There’s not much to say on several […]
This second part of the My Life in Horses series is a collection of vignette-style diary entries and other pieces grouped by the four seasons, and spanning two years. One of these is 2020 so naturally includes the impact Covid 19 has had on this writer’s riding life. Jan Ruth lives and rides in […]
I don’t actually make resolutions as such, they’re more aims, I suppose, or goals. And they are remarkable similar to the ones made in previous years. Let’s see how I got on. My list of aims for the year were as follows: Reach and maintain target weight Exercise twice a week Write a book Write […]
I read Productivity for Writers after listening to a podcast recently. I have been writing for some years now so much of the information in the book I’ve heard/read before, here and there, however it never hurts to both, have this book as a reminder, and to have all the information in one place.

When I committed to writing my Monday post (being a minimum of 500 words) some time back in June I made it a ‘no matter what’ piece of work. Up to this week I have managed to put something up but I have to say some truly terrible news in my friends group a couple […]
I have something a little different for you this week… a competition. The Roses Mini Saga Competition is a venture I’ve embarked on with a friend of mine, Sally-Rose Runham. In its inaugural year we limited entries to three local writing groups to check our processes but in this, its second year, we have […]
The Faces that you Meet is the story of Rachel, a young woman hanging on to her twenties by her fingernails and not enjoying the dating scene much. She meets Simon and they have a brief relationship but after a few warning signs, then an alarming incident, she finishes with him. However, he’s not […]
I guess I’m going to have to do a bit of a NaNo wrap-up, however reluctantly. I think we can safely say, even though I have tackled it for the last few years, that the actual concept of NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month, which is November) is not for me. Not that it’s actually been […]
I chose to read One For The Money as a proud member of Rosie Amber’s Book Review Team and I received a copy from the author. This does not alter my review in anyway. Cat Caliban is looking for a change after her husband dies. She is a mother to three and a granny, […]
There has been big news in the audio book world last week, and in a somewhat surprising move I have leapt on board the opportunity and after a few hours (during which there may have been some swearing!) setting this thing up I’m now ready to share. As you may remember I recently published the […]
