I always have a few writing projects on the go, so if I get blocked on one, I take a break and move onto the next. If I'm on a deadline and have to finish a piece, I go for a walk and the block works itself out and I'm ready to write when I get home.

"Rescued - The poodles story," is Rina, my poodle's story. We rescued her and the adventures began. This book records all those adventures and more. We lived together for 8 amazing years and she was always our companion, going everywhere with us. Rina died in 2016 and I swore I'd never have another dog. I has heart broken. But aged rescue dogs came along and so a new adventure began.
