About me
I'm a freelance writer - fiction, nonfiction and anything else that happens to tango its way through my mind. That's for me, and I've won a competition or two, and been published in a range of media. To keep the wolf from the door, I also edit, proofread and write for other people. Love it all. Aren't I lucky?

Daily prompt: Maybe it’s all a con
DAILY PROMPT Cowardice I’m not completely sold on the whole concept of cowardice. Certainly I bandy the word about in relation to my own failures to face the fear and do it anyway, but I don’t remember ever thinking of … Continue reading
Daily prompt: Whatever
DAILY PROMPT Desert I am not liking today. I could drape a limp hand across my brow and utter heartbreaking snatches about wandering lost and alone through the desert of my soul, but that would be ridiculously pretentious and would … Continue reading
Daily prompt: True or false? Who’s asking?
DAILY PROMPT False I don’t mind being old. Every age has its pros and cons, and so far I’m finding the scales pretty evenly balanced. But sometimes the pros win hands down: it’s so reassuring to know I’ll be dead … Continue reading
Daily prompt: If only Adam and Eve had called it as it was!
DAILY PROMPT Forbidden So Eve urged Adam to eat the forbidden fruit, Adam chomped away at the apple, we’ve all been sinfully wicked ever since and it was all Eve’s fault. Simple, really. As the man, Adam had his mind … Continue reading
