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
