I think I've just created a blog, but being useless at this kind of thing, as well as a technophobe (and I don't even know how to spell that) I may be sitting here writing this to myself. It seems that everybody who is anybody has one - a blog that is - so I though I might as well jump on the band-waggon.

I've been painting and writing all my life and sometimes it's hard to decide which I love best. Recently, because "life" got in the way, I put writing aside and concentrated on my painting and the running of my small art group - an ongoing course in drawing and painting for beginners. However, I'm back into my writing mode again, which is long overdue and I hope my publishers haven't drawn the dreaded blue biro line through my name!

At present I'm editing a book set in St Kilda a hundred years ago - The Raging Spirit - that should have been submitted last year! And I'm writing a new contemporary story called Bright New Day and which deals with two people moving on after a fatal road accident. Not sure what genre this fits. There's drama, romance and suspense all intermingled - I like my books to have a bit of everything in them.
