These pumpkins are a little late, but I didn’t quite manage to hit the Hallowe’en deadline for this update. [Image: Depositphotos, standard licence] November has rolled around again and usually I would be doing NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) which … Continue reading →
I realise I’ve said little for the last two months although quite a bit has been going on behind the scenes. I ‘engaged’ a professional editor at the beginning of June, and things are in the early stages, but so … Continue reading →
