Lovely review

Lovely review for Bedknobs and Beanstalks, courtesy of Whipped Cream Erotic Romance Reviews. 4.5 cherries! Swan Made: Gorgeous, gorgeous story, set against a backdrop of modern despair. A man living a grey life of quiet desperation finds passion in the most unlikely place. His inability to face what his visitor truly is nearly costs him [...]

Quick Note

I am now without internet at home, due to the move. Fingers crossed, we should have it up and running by the 18th at the new house. There’ll be no more updates here until then. (And this should really wait, but there’s another good Bedknobs & Beanstalks review, at Tam’s Reads. Depending on how much time I [...]

Silence or Sound?

Ever have one of those moments when a story just crystalises, and you have to get it on paper right that second? It’s a brilliant moment, but annoying, too. I had a brainwave in the middle of yoga, which really did no favours for the meditation at the end (a still and quiet mind? not [...]

Dance Camp East

So, as you may have gathered I’m back from the wilds of Suffolk. I’m still a little hippied up – the world yesterday was full of lovely loveliness, and I’ve retained quite a lot of that positivity – and have had three very late nights in a row, so I’m a bit dizzy with it [...]

Acceptance: Swan Made
