Can you all believe it’s been a year since I quit my day job to become a full time writer? I know I can’t. It’s been one hell of a year (in a good way) and it has totally flown by. I thought it would be good to reflect on the last year and share … [Read more…]
Let me start by saying I’m 35 and I don’t have children and that is by choice. I know that sounds pretty random, but it is what inspired this post. I’m not sure why, but complete strangers seem to think they have a right to comment on this and offer their unsolicited opinion on it. Whenever … [Read more…]

You might remember not so long ago I wrote a post called Am I A Writer? The Debate. I won’t rehash the full post here but the gist of it was me debating when I would feel comfortable calling myself a writer. Seriously, if you haven’t read it, have a look now (this post will … [Read more…]
As you all know, I love anything horror related. I am one of those strange people who genuinely like being scared. So I thought I would put together my haunted locations bucket list – 7 places that are rumoured to be haunted that I would love to visit. Haunted Locations 1: Island of the Dolls, … [Read more…]
As a lot of you probably know, I work full time as a barmaid. I’m quite lucky in that the pub I work in generally has nice customers – of course on a weekend there’s the odd idiot, but they are quickly put out. These five things are things I hear way too often – … [Read more…]
You might remember that earlier in the month I asked if anyone had any questions they would like me to answer as part of my Over To You theme.
