A Little help from the Literature World

On April 20, 2020

I know this pales into insignificance against the heroics of our new hero Captain Tom. What an inspiration he must have been in his younger days – he has certainly become the nation’s favourite, what more can you say. He set out on a mammoth task and he achieved his goal. Perhaps it may rub […]

Apologies – in the plural

On March 18, 2020

My first apology is made to my immediate family. For the last four years I have hounded and asked stupid questions, that may seem totally irrelevant but to me were so important. The answers either opened doors or slammed them shut. The surprise when they opened doors was amazing, when they lead me nowhere, it […]

My Two Sisters, The Story

On January 15, 2020

Sometime between 1949-1950 a girl was born in Rudry in South Wales. We believe this is where the journey started. Then, on June the 10th, 1955, my twin sister was still born. Neither of their births were recorded. I found this strange to start with, but the registration of births and deaths was very hit […]

My Two Sisters, The Project So Far

On January 15, 2020

Every Sunday I review and complete my diary for the week on what information, research and people’s experiences that we have collected and somehow all play a part in the production of My Two Sisters. I am now onto my third desk top diary collating all these facts. It is fascinating to see the totally […]

Well finally the day arrived, the launch of Lola’s first book, The Evil Alien Carrot. Similar to great actors, authors, well junior authors, have to make a dramatic appearance. Unfortunately, Lola did not make that appearance. The night before she was taken ill by a mystery bug and there was big concern for all the […]

A Mystical Journey of Research for My Two Sisters

On November 6, 2019

The research for My Two Sisters has been varied, diverse and somewhat mystical. It has raised questions that have affected so many people and in such different ways. I knew the subject would affect a huge amount of people, it would give comfort to some and sarcasm from others, with a large majority of people […]

Tsunami Of Hate – It’s Only Fiction, I think

On September 4, 2019

This book has taken me over two years and seven months to complete. The time taken to explore the world of fund managers and the intricacies of social media took far longer than expected. The contributions of the pigs to the story needed no research, these details I was well aware of from looking after […]

Henley Royal Regatta 5th July 2019

On July 17, 2019

What a wonderful way to start the weekend. Good company and also good friends. The excitement was contagious not only with the racing but by the fact that Miss Nicola May, Amazon’s #No.1 female author had her new book launch that day of Meet Me At Cocklebury Bay. She kept us up to date with […]

The Young Faces Of D-Day Still Haunt Us All

On June 20, 2019

What an emotional week with the D-Day landings. The coverage was excellent, the scenes emotional. Quite unbelievable to even contemplate what was going through the young guys’ minds just before the beach landing. Some horrifying historical footage of their young faces haunted us all. It must have been hell. My father would never talk to […]
