In a few days we will mark the fourth anniversary of Anne’s passing. Remembrance Day – Eve now holds a deeper resonance. I’m sure every author expresses their works as ‘labours of love’. That is most definitely the case with All Will Be Well. Its completion and release at this time are more happenstance than … Continue reading New Release – ALL WILL BE WELL

Once the fog is gone.
Strange shadows folding, drifting on a chilled blanket.As if it ever was thus. Emotions folding, too. Swaying. Sometimes almost imperceptible. At other times, like a torrent, paralysing the will.

Signs ignored for the sake of … Continue reading On a breeze
