Having traveled Europe and the U.S., fallen in love with (and in) Paris and lived in Japan, I now make my home in London, Ontario, Canada.
I love cats as pets, and all animals as sentient creatures. I think this is why, when asked at around age nine the name of my greatest hero, I answered "St. Francis of Assisi." Tarzan came a close second: I kid you not. (I also harbour a crush on a hybrid historical/fantasy Joan of Arc, but did not know that at age nine: It has never done me any good.)
I believe resolutely in the sanctity of fundamental human rights, kindness, and Nature in all its life forms. My great grandmother was Native American. That, and my Welsh birth and ancestry, I consider blessings.
While writing Kronos Duet I was literally save ...more

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Then I get on with writing other stuff, while still suffering. If things break my way, I surf back into the thing I really want to write eventually. The thing is to keep writing... something... anything. If you stop playing the guitar for a year, your fingers become stupid and clumsy and no longer synch seamlessly with your brain. The same applies to writing. So don't stop. It doesn't matter whether or not you write to a schedule or not - just keep doing it in the way that works for you. And through it all, be kind to yourself. Writing well is one tough challenge. If you've done the work for that day, thank yourself and celebrate your existence.(less)

Writing well feels good. Getting published feels fantastic. Getting emails from readers - good. Rave reviews - good. Thoughtful, rigorous reviews - good. Sleeping after a hard day's writing - great. Talking with other committed writers about the craft of writing - great. Remembering to eat when in the midst of a chapter - pretty damn good.

Kronos Duet excerpt

Here's a sample from my novel Kronos Duet. Gareth Pugh and his daughter, Adrianna, have reached Stonehenge, in a time period where it was almost surrounded by trees. Paranormal energies pull Gareth away, into the body/mind of Rasputin.

When they broke out of the trees into a clearing, the sight shocked her. Not fifty feet away, the massive standing stones of Stonehenge dwarfed them. She felt their Read more of this blog post »

“We're human beings we are - all of us - and that's what people are liable to forget. Human beings don't like peace and goodwill and everybody loving everybody else. However much they may think they do, they don't really because they're not made like that. Human beings love eating and drinking and loving and hating. They also like showing off, grabbing all they can, fighting for their rights and bossing anybody who'll give them half a chance.”
― George Bernard Shaw, Complete Plays with Prefaces
