A Question of Answers

Ne Obliviscaris: Do Not Forget

Harriet. Caught between the steady and the charismatic. Wavering. Two very different men. She’s trouble. Can’t stay out of it. Still digging away. In serious danger of collapsing the fragile corners of her triangular existence into one big hole.

Can Mark really put his fear of marriage behind him? She’s only looking for one answer. Unless of course ‘that gorgeous hunk of a blonde’ in charge of her school gets there first. Him? Unlikely. Different worlds. Too many questions.

A weft of answers weave their way through the story. In and out. Criss-crossing the threads of rivalry, jealousy, anger, passion and desire. Ride all Harriet’s emotions as she takes you on the rest of her journey. Then ask ‘Was she ever in control of her dreams?’

Ne obliviscaris; Do Not Forget is the sequel to ‘A Question of Answers’ by the same author.

The Turn of the Tide

A Flight of Fancy

When writing is a first love, where does an author go in between books? For me blogging filled the gap. A chance to depart from the world of fiction to write about the everyday, just where my stories are rooted.

I was tempted to stop! I was feeling far too much like Harriet! Inevitable disillusionment for those who know me! Insight to the source of inspiration for those who don’t!

It’s life either side of The Big 40! No delete button! So here it is for posterity. In the nest. Watching the others A fledgling waiting for wings. Dreaming a flight of fancy!’
