Looking back: 2025 was a beast
It's difficult to know how to start this. I've suggested that it's been a tough one from my title and in many ways, it has; however, there is an argument that it's not been that extraordinary at all, merely this wonderful thing we call "life" with all its climaxes and pitfalls.

Beating the booze
'Beating the booze' may be an exaggeration. All I have done is to come up with a new approach to cutting down my alcohol intake. Why? Am I a drunk, an alcoholic, a problem drinker? No, to at least two of these questions and 'not really' to the other. I will admit that I drink more than is strictly healthy so that, from time to time, I make attempts at cutting down my alcohol intake. Some are quite successful... for a while at any rate.

A Moment of Calm at the Farm with a drowning wasp !
A pig slept on warm hay, as if the world stood no chance against its slumber. Its back was turned towards me. His safety was never questioned. But who am I, and should I ever be trusted? It doesn’t matter because that pig had a safe home and would never be evicted. Eaten, but never evicted.

Finding Katie 3
Hello to all the vocal peeps out there. I am writing my finding Katie blog 3… I know I know, it’s a little late but I am writing it so there is that. I think what I am going to do is write 1 finding Katie a month and one Finding Katie’s story a month every two weeks. Two stories a month (along with whatever else I may be writing) is probably enough.

Paint me Ecstatic
So, I'm sitting in my room but this time, not with my thumb where the sun doesn't shine. I moved past that stage in my life years ago and can't believe how many opportunities I let slip pass...

To Finish a Series
It’s always great when you realize your mistake 2/3s of the way through writing the series. For a while, I could not figure out why reception for my second book had been so much more muted than my first book. Certainly, it’s not as novel (hehe) the second time you publish something. Perhaps I should have spaced it out more than six months. Did I not do enough promotions?
