Audiobooks and eBooks

I have become an evangelist for downloadable audiobooks and eBooks. The reasons I believe in them are manifold but here are a few:

First of all audiobooks -

Downloadable audiobooks are ideal for anyone who is traveling, ideal for listening to when you're on the beach or in the park, ideal for listening to when you're doing boring, menial work and mundane chores like ironing the laundry or raking the autumn leaves in the garden.

You can't read a book when you're… Continue

An Author' Garden in August

An Author’s Garden in August

I wish I could bottle the fragrance of my garden in Hertfordshire, South East England. When I open the windows, front or back doors the perfume of lavender and roses wafts through the air. I have introduced biodiversity into the garden which bees, butterflies and hoverflies visit.

Unfortunately slugs and snails also inhabit my garden. I garden veganically and combat their attacks on the vegetable patches by encouraging wildlife – flat stones on… Continue

Daytime Soap Operas: Bringing Back Storylines Based on Suspense, Drama and Romance

Daytime Soap Operas: Bringing Back Storylines Based on Suspense, Drama and Romance

Saving Days of Our Lives

What Daytime Soap Operas have lost is the suspense, drama and romance that came from creative and unique storylines. Instead of focusing on the plots, the writers have chosen to fixate on sensationalism by seeing just how far they can go sexually on the screen. This has turned the shows into little more than glorified soft porn, without plots and character… Continue

Woodland Daughter is released!

After being sick the last week or so, I've missed celebrating the UK release of my Edwardian historical, Woodland Daughter!

This is the first book I've written set in the early Edwardian era of England and I thoroughly enjoyed writing it.

Another 'first' for me is writing a book where the heroine is married and a mother at the start of the book, that made a wonderful change for me.

Woodland Daughter is only available in hardback, but it… Continue

You've Got 20 Seconds

How's your elevator speech? You know, that little blurb that you have at the ready when someone asks, "so what's your book about?", or "what do you do?".

I'd like to invite you to participate in a little challenge over at my blog. Post your elevator speech there, whatever shape it's in, if you could use a little feedback, and hopefully, to provide some great examples.

Hope to see you there.

Infinite Income for Charities!

I want to introduce a somewhat radical concept here that could have astounding implications for social change. The concept is leverage. I've used that term a few times already but I want to suggest some ways that we can use leverage to get the results that we want with changing the world.

There are a couple of definitions of leverage;

1. The degree to which an investor or a business is using borrowed money

2. As a VERB leverage means to gain an advantage through the… Continue

Passing Along a Song

A sweet song, carried on a breeze,

Floating through the air,

Whispering lightly through the trees,

Seemed to be everywhere,

Falling lightly on my ear,

Such a pleasant thing to hear!

The beauty of this melody,

Drifting across my mind,

Bringing a sense of tranquility,

A peace I’d longed to find,

I shared by humming through the day,

As it continued on its way.

Someone having a… Continue

Is there protection against California's earthquakes?

The earth did quake a few days ago. Although I was in my home in Florida, I heard its impact as it shook. I happened to be interpreting for a client and her patient located in a city in California. The conversation was calm and polite. Then their voices choked, then paused, gasps filled the air. And then the word “earthquake” echoed through the phone line.

How quickly, how abruptly their focus was redirected, the emotions shifted and tone changed—from friendly to… Continue
