Karen’s Chat about Google Earth
Recently I spoke to the author of a crime thriller set around the area I live. I asked him on social media if he came here to research. He said he didn’t, instead, he used Google Earth.

Reblogged – Isn’t It Nice To Be Excited?
This is a lovely piece of writing posted on The Glorious Outsiders website. Chantelle talks about her excitement at the thought of starting a new life in Ilfracombe, a seaside town in Devon.

Bump in the Night by Sahara Foley
This was originally posted in December 2022, and it is fascinating. I’ve often said that true stories are often more compelling than fiction. So ten months later I am reblogging it because it’s perfect for Halloween. Pulse I can enjoy it all over again! The house I grew up in was haunted. Oh, it wasn’t… Continue reading Bump in the Night by Sahara Foley
