Karen’s Chat – Did we forget to be bored?
One morning recently, I didn’t pick up my iPad as I usually do. Instead, I picked up my coffee and listened to We Are the People by Empire of the Sun, followed by Love & Hate by Michael Kiwanuka. Both are hauntingly beautiful songs. It made me realise how nice it was to simply sit… Continue reading Karen’s Chat – Did we forget to be bored?

Isn’t it annoying that Amazon has the stronghold? I know people buy from other retailers otherwise they wouldn’t exist. So I needed to… Continue reading Karen’s Chat from Smashwords to your a Kindle

Karen’s Chat – Amazon, it was nice knowing you.
Amazon has deleted my book account. As far as they’re concerned, I no longer exist there. Apart from a few unavailable paperbacks and anthologies, there is no trace of me. Why? Because I uploaded an anthology under the Electric Eclectic Books brand. It was meant to join the two I published a couple of years… Continue reading Karen’s Chat – Amazon, it was nice knowing you.

The pony I learned to ride was a little one called Champion. I can still remember hanging on for dear… Continue reading Karen’s Chat on Horses
Karen’s Chat – If Walls Could Talk
How many times have you said that in your life? I still whisper it in quiet moments when I think about the people who lived in my house before me. We moved a lot when I was growing up, but one house in particular has stayed with me. It was where I spent my teenage… Continue reading Karen’s Chat – If Walls Could Talk
Karen’s Chat about Ice Hockey
Yes, I know it’s a strange subject, especially coming from someone like me who isn’t a sports fan and knows little about it. What I do know is that it’s becoming more popular. Last night, there was a feature on the BBC’s The One Show, which highlighted its growing appeal, particularly after a recent TV… Continue reading Karen’s Chat about Ice Hockey
