Oh I have a secret...or maybe even two...and I can't tell...and it's killing me!

Now those of you who know me personally will know how bursting with news I can get and this is such a biggie for me! But at the moment I am sworn to secrecy, so you will just have to wait.

What I can tell you about is the four whole days of decorating I have just done - six hours a day for four days on one staircase. Yes you read that right - ONE staircase! That said, it is an incredibly long staircase with fiddly spindles all the way along and it didn't help that on the very first day I stuck my paintbrush into my giant coffee mug instead of the paint pot!

Still it could have been worse, I could have lifted the paint to my lips and poured it all down myself - I guess if I had done that I wouldn't be needing the Halloween makeup :)

Thanks also to everyone who sent me birthday wishes via Facebook. They were much appreciated.

Happy Halloween Reading x

As you know, the summer holidays are upon us. For that reason I am spending quite a lot of my time giving interviews as well as interviewing other authors or interesting people I have met along the way.


Coming soon will be interviews with Mary and Lynne of The Boutique Bakehouse, cake makers and decorators extraordinaire, who were commissioned to bake a cake for members of the Royal Family as well as a lovely gentleman who runs a hedgehog rescue centre.


Perhaps you may think my choice of interview subjects is rather eclectic and to some extent you would be right. But I view life as a rich tapestry and the threads that are woven there are bound by the experiences we have and the people we come into contact with as much as they are by ourselves.


Anyway enough of my philosophising...


Happy Reading!
