Reblogged – The Marriage by Obligation Series by Ruth and Nordin

This author writes lots of series. I read The South Dakota Series a couple of years ago and they made a lasting impression. She posted this article recently and I found it fascinating. I shall be reading the first book of the series mentioned, simply because I enjoyed the others so much. And isn’t this… Continue reading Reblogged – The Marriage by Obligation Series by Ruth and Nordin

Ow, it Hurts, a Silly Little Ditty.

Or is it the truth! Image courtesy of depositphotos.com Ring of fire. No, not a songI suffer in silence.Am I wrong?Try explaining. Piles, don’t you know?It makes me tenseI’m a tale of woe.Sometimes I can’t sit. It hurts.Makes me wriggle.Feels like a curse.Piles are painful, especially whenThey sit in a huddle.And swell up againI visit… Continue reading Ow, it Hurts, a Silly Little Ditty.

There is something really nice hearing your reviews read aloud. Even I was impressed at hearing the words said aloud. I wonder what the author thinks? If you’d like a review of your book, then it’s something to consider. Give Sahara Foley’s article a read.

A Funny Story – but not really

This happened in 1987, when it was acceptable to leave your child/baby in the a pram outside a shop whilst you went inside. Horrifying now, but back then everyone did it and they were quite safe- until they weren’t. This story came to mind the other day when I thought a crying child was alone… Continue reading A Funny Story – but not really

Come on Amazon, What are You Doing?

I’ve never had a problem buying a book on Amazon. In fact, just the opposite, one click and it’s bought. I wanted a paperback and during the week I ordered Picture (Im) Perfect. I’d been following the author on TikTok and also following an editor on Facebook. A few days ago I realised they were… Continue reading Come on Amazon, What are You Doing?

Reblogged – The Mandela Effect

This is something I’ve not heard of, but know it happens, I just didn’t know it had a name. My recollection was that Mandela was released from prison. Of course he was. Wasn’t he? 😂 The only experience I recall of being absolutely certain of something that was wrong, was when I gave directions. I… Continue reading Reblogged – The Mandela Effect

I love short stories, they have always been my favourite, and these are just between that and a novel. It is eighty-one pages long, so a perfect weekend read. Not to mention the blurb, that… Continue reading New Release And a perfect Book For Me

Besides Writing ….

I love crafting and belong to a group who meet once a week in the local village. Although it’s had a couple of name changes over the years, there has been a gathering of likeminded people meeting together for over thirty years. My passion is cross stitching although I do other crafts. We recently started… Continue reading Besides Writing ….
