Karen’s Review The prologue in this book cleverly grabs the reader from the get-go. Michael, who turns into a werewolf during a full moon was trapped in a plane that was delayed - and the sun was going down. It looked like he was about to turn while in his seat!

A One Star Star Review
I remember being devastated by my first one star review. It basically said the character was one dimensional and boring. This was true, I knew it wasn’t but it hurt. The book went on to over a dozen reviews. But I’ll never forgot how much that hurt. So this article by Stevie Turner resonated with… Continue reading A One Star Star Review

Can you draw? Well Yes, I can now.
I've always wanted to draw, particularly using a pencil. Sadly, I didn't possess any natural talent. Not like brother who was gifted. I took to writing instead, where I could paint my pictures with words. In 2020 during lockdown, I came across an article which said You don't have to be born an artist, you… Continue reading Can you draw? Well Yes, I can now.

It’s going dark!
The last Saturday in October our clocks went back one hour. When I was younger it was always difficult to remember, but not anymore. Since we’ve all learnt that certain countries call the Autumn Fall, we can now align it with the seasons and thus making it easier to remember. Fall back and Spring forward… Continue reading It’s going dark!
