Like everyone else, I have found the past three years a real challenge. Anyway, that’s all I’m going to say. I’ve decided to get back to my blog, because in spite of everything, I was writing, and submitting. And, I’m glad to say, succeeding.

I have a two-part story, “Lemon Verbena” in The People’s Friend Spring Special, currently in the shops.This story is set in Provence in the early 20th century. It’s a story of love, war, ambition and perfume. Josie and Gilbert were wonderful characters to write about.
Here’s my latest story in The People’s Friend. “After The Flood” was inspired by a visit to Ladybower Reservoir in Derbyshire.
I had this story in the People’s Friend Special recently. This one made me cry when I was writing it. I love the fabulous illustration by Kirk Houston.
I have a two part story in the People's Friend Spring Special which is in the shops now. It's called "Colours From The Land" and it's set in the Highlands of Scotland in the 1880s.
I had another story published in the People's Friend weekly magazine in late May. This was a Western and my characters turned up unannounced! I love it when that happens.
I was very pleased to have another story published in The People's Friend Special back in April. This gentle love story is set in post World War 2 Paris. I really enjoyed writing it. April In Paris has a handsome chef, 1950s frocks and fabulous food!
My second Story for The People's Friend was published in Special 137. The title was changed but I'm glad to say I like the one they chose. The illustration is fabulous too.
Yay! My first short story "The Book of Ruth" has just been published in the People's Friend magazine! Thrilled to be mentioned on the cover and I love the illustration.
