Had to post this again when it came up as a memory. A menu from Wimpy (the waited table version). I guess it’s from the 70s. The prices are …..

Looking from the shadows into the light …

The River Dochart, south of Killin.

Saw my first white-topped hill of the year today. Soon be Christmas …

So as my back has decided, once again, that I won’t be walking much for two or three months, I guess I’ll be mostly driving around looking at scenery until the new year. But when the scenery’s like this …

If you have to stop at a motorway service station, Tebay is definitely the one to choose!

Great idea, but forcing us to follow all is, frankly, ridiculous. So it’s none for me. Pity.

Are you a fantasy lover, looking for something new?

How about a low fantasy series with a curious FMC, an animal character or three, several mythical creatures, sorcery and old curses, new friends, and action and adventure aplenty.

Available on Kindle, KindleUnlimited, and in paperback.

Your occasional reminder that I have more than one alter ego, and this one likes to keep things spicy.

Marcus, Sally, and Lucy’s story is one of passion, fantasies, family mysteries, and a lot of … exploration.

Be sure to read the descriptions and warnings before diving between the pages!

Almost felt like the south of France today. Almost …

When Yrsa leaves her home, she’s not even sure where she’s going.

But there are surprises and challenges awaiting her from the beginning. Fate? Destiny? Yrsa isn’t sure she believes in such things, but she will meet people and creatures she imagined only existed in myth.

Finally managed to get to a beach for the first time since my bout of shingles in December. But walking on loose sand is hard work when you still have no energy! And perhaps the itching will go away at some point …

So, I finally completed adding the additional POV in my sci-fi WIP - The Ship Hunter - and I think it works better.

But I got so deeply back into Zeq and Klora’s lives that I’m now halfway through a sequel - Exoclone Moon. And this one wasn’t supposed to be a series!

Ah, well.

It all begins with a three-year search for Zeffen blood …

Winter seems to go on forever. So plenty of dark evenings for a longer read, and my spicier alter ego has just the thing!

I bought a bar of Caramac while I was in a sweet shop this afternoon. I don’t think I’ve eaten any since I was a kid. It was absolutely disgusting. 🥴

Sarah loved the opening trilogy of the Tales of a Melder series. If you like fantasy, with a self-willed FMC, mysteries to solve, friends to make, and animal characters - real and mythical - then you might too.

Why not give it a try?
