I promised you interviews with established authors and I’m delivering on my promise. Maggie Gee is a well-know writer who was recently described to me as a 'senior stateswoman on the British literary scene'. You just have to skim the reviews to see how well-rated she is not just by the critics but... Read more...

I guess I should apologise for being away so long. I assure you I wasn't being lazy. I was busy working on my novel - mainly reading and thinking about it, fine-tuning, making sure all elements were aligned and linked. Also, planning the next book, a collection of short tales grouped around a 'wi... Read more...

She's been a management consultant, a health coach and a personal trainer running her own health business, she's a dab hand at computer technology and now she's pioneering a new... Read more...

Two days to go – and perhaps your mind’s straying occasionally towards what you’ll be doing next with your novel. I have great advice and treats in store for that – but let’s set aside a few days longer. For now, I’m going to pass on some hints from a regular contributor to the comments on my blogs...

November 27
I’ve completed my 50,000 words. And I won’t pretend I found it easy. I joined up in the few days before without clearing the way for such a marathon project. There were lots of moments when I felt I should abandon it in order to deliver the commissioned projects. Not the least, a... Read more...

First of all, apologies for being ‘off the air’ over the weekend. I had some catching up to do. I’ve been ignoring family and friends during November to manage work, the blog and NaNo. I responded to an ultimatum from the family and am now reinstated as a card-carrying member.

While scanning through my NaNo novel to find the appropriate spaces for dialogue, I found myself slowing down and really getting into the text. I began to fiddle around with the odd correction and then just took off in a certain section, expanding in all directions - descriptions of places, people,... Read more...
