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: Nothing to do with buff
DAILY PROMPT Buff End of May – end of autumn, and right on cue the cold wind doth blow, and while we won’t have snow thank goodness (nasty, frozen wet stuff that melts to even nastier, wetter slush), the cold … Continue reading
Daily prompt: Mostly off topic
DAILY PROMPT Catapult Here’s a little story that has nothing to do with catapults unless you stretch it to cover catapulting the US into Healthcare Norms for Developed Countries in the 21st Century. Australia does have private health cover, but … Continue reading
Daily prompt: Anchors
DAILY PROMPT Unmoored As I mentioned before, my sister had a major operation last week, and I am now holding firmly to her mooring rope while she floats in a sea of post-operative confusion. All that anaesthetic! It will pass, … Continue reading
Daily prompt: Farce, thy name is politics
DAILY PROMPT Farce I shouldn’t talk about politics. You know nothing about ours, and while I know slightly more about yours (the UK and America: you are more important than we are so we hear more of your news than … Continue reading
Two questions
I have two questions. I ask them purely because I am curious, and NOT because I have an agenda. Furthermore I am DEFINITLEY NOT a Trump supporter, just in case my questions give you the wrong idea. Dov Levin (Institute … Continue reading
Daily prompt: Looking around
DAILY PROMPT Precipice Yesterday was my 49th wedding anniversary – provided I’m still allowed to call it that given the other half the wedding died 26 years ago. Me, I don’t see why not. It was, after all, the day … Continue reading
Daily prompt: Each to his own
DAILY PROMPT Hospitality It’s funny how things change. Hospitality used to be a personal thing. Now it’s an industry. A career for which you train, perhaps in the hope of becoming manager of one of those whoop-di-doo resorts where people … Continue reading
Daily prompt: The value of having a conscience
DAILY PROMPT Maze I didn’t want to get out of bed this morning. The air was chill, the bed was warm, and nothing on my calendar suggested anyone would know let alone care if I spent the day tucked up … Continue reading
Daily prompt: Another trip to la-la land
DAILY PROMPT Pursue I have to admit that I’ve always regarded ‘the pursuit of happiness’ as one of those la-la things that don’t have much to do with real life. Perhaps this is because I was born right in the … Continue reading
Daily prompt: Hello to the budget
DAILY PROMPT Temporary As of today, Australians will be running around like chooks with their heads cut off, thigh-deep in media analysis of last night’s federal budget: What the Budget Means for You. But it will be a temporary madness, … Continue reading
