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 Eerie It’s November 1 here -All Saints Day and my son’s birthday. Nothing eerie about either of those. But it’s also the first Tuesday in November, so there’ll be a moment this afternoon that you could find distinctly … Continue reading
