Goodbye to my author side...
I can't seem to change the author bio but I'm now retired as a writer.
No more slogging for peanuts as a freelance ghostwriter either. After having over 150 books published as a ghostwriter, I'm giving up, and spending my time reading these days.
I only do reviews if I feel a book is worth 3* or over, otherwise I put it on my "not my cup of tea" shelf. Let's face it, reviews are only opinions of i Read more of this blog post »

| Love this series. Book 2 was a spin off using the characters from book 1, so I think that might happen for all the books. Character creation is spot on, lots of action to keep those pages turning. I'm not a fan of the sexy scenes so I simply skip tho ...more | |

I would have given this book a 5* for its tense plot line, if only the grammar errors could be improved. What a page turner! Warning though, it's a bit disturbing in places, but that's a credit to the author having the ability to build up such tense, ...more |

Thank you Carol E for the lovely new review on Flight of a Changeling. 4/5 and some great points for me to ponder.

MANY THANKS to all who supported me with the free promotion days I've just been running for book 2 in my fantasy series. Now I'm sitting tight and hoping that feedback will simply pour into my inbox or on Amazon. I can but hope.
FREE kindle version of book 2 Flight of a Changeling from my fantasy series. Today (19-21). Please support me if you are able. http://www.amazon.com/Flight-Changeli...
OK I admit it, I just deleted most of my favourite authors on GR because I didn't know who many of them were. Did this when I first became a member and didn't realise what I was doing. Now I'm starting over again my real favourites.
If there are any fantasy fans out there, I invite you to read my Prologue. It might confuse as it is a bit abstract until you've read further into the story. I wanted to create a prologue that made my readers think, "hmm ... I'll have to read more to find out what's going on". ALL comments very welcome. http://www.goodreads.com/story/show/3...
FREE READ Prologue - Guardian Dragons. I welcome all comments. http://www.goodreads.com/story/show/3...
How do you cancel a group membership? I have found myself in too many groups to participate but can't work out how to cancel the membership - any pointers please?
Visit my blog today as I'm hosting an interview with Donna Hawk and there is the opportunity to win her latest book Where Darkness Walks. http://onewomansquestuk.blogspot.co.uk/
Just realised I seem to have my book on twice on Goodreads and this has split up my reviews. Does anyone know how I can rectify this ie delete 2nd one and somehow get the reviews onto the other??
Hi Cathy,Thank you for the friendvite. I look forward to following your stories.

Did I tell you all that Guardian Dragons is FREE to download on Smashwords in many different forms. No I didn't, I hear you say, OR, yes you did and I've already got it and I'm going to leave you a review right now! https://www.smashwords.com/books/view...Guardian Dragons
I've just reached my 1st publishing goal. Book 1, Guardian Dragons at it's KDP end so now allowed to publish e-version elsewhere. Available on Smashwords for FREE in lots of different versions. Book 2 out in paperback and will now put e-version via KDP. I hope to do this process for each new book in the series. Not sure I'll have the next one ready in 90 days though so it's a bit of an experiment.
I have just discovered R4R on Goodreads and I will get all future books to read from this list (fantasy or paranormal). That way I can enjoy a good read and help my fellow peeps (English for people = meaning authors).
CELEBRATIONS again my friends. Just got my very first review on Amazon 4/5. This is fantastic. Makes all that slogging away writing worth it. I just hope Amazon don't delete it for whatever reason they decide. Whoppee

I ask for your patience as I'm not very computer savvy so slowly filling in my profile.
"He would rather have charged into a thousand rickety villages with only a spoon than face this daunting wall..."
If you knew the character this refers to, and the situation he is in at this point in time, you might understand why this is such a lovely set of words, emphasising the humour of this talented author. Great book, will report back when I leave my review.
