On Writing, 83

A bad day is not necessarily bad for your writing. As your mood changes your writing changes. Notice and observe and use what is useful. But a really bad day might be really good for your novel.

As someone once said: it’s all material.

Go write.

Meet Molly: a tale of love, entrepreneurship and the hero’s tale, “Absolutely loved this book, a great story and apt for today and an inspiration. I was 'drawn in' straight away (it usually takes me a while to get into a novel). You'll want to go to St Kalla that's for sure, and - I won't spoil it but - find out what happens to Molly!!!! Hope there's a sequel” Molly and The Isle of Kasta: the sequel. “Molly and Ben have settled into their island haven and are busy making friends and building a business. Their little coffee shop has become a local hub and Molly is a sought after source of help and advice for other business owners. But there are darker forces at work on peaceful Kasta, and soon Molly will need to call on all her resources to counter the threats the community faces.This sequel to ‘Meet Molly’ is an equally delightful read; romance and adventure and a cast of quirky characters in an idyllic setting. It is a story about love, friendship and community - a book to curl up with and forget everything else for a while.”

Bram, A Spy Story: it’s 1988:  a story of coming-of-age, Queen and country and the origins of Covid-19, “Exciting story, fast paced with lots of action and a nostalgic retro setting.”

All available on amazon for the kindle app. 

Molly and Ben, the third part of the Molly trilogy is ‘finished’. It is now time to edit, edit and edit some more. I expect to release it on kindle in a week or two.

What’s next? A collection of short stories including: The Time Machine; In Memoriam Mr Rock Star and Where The Star Dust is Found. The first two are progressing well.
