You probably all know that I have been going through a bad time with my health, just one damn thing after another, which has (unsurprisingly) left me anxious and depressed. Other things in my life aren’t brilliant but it’s hard to be objective when alternately trying to die or vomiting enough to turn oneself inside … More Friends’ Advice
You thought you had lost it but Shaman’s Drum is back on the market for six moths only. From 1st June it will be available in Kindle form for only 99p or cents as a special re-introductory offer. WHAT? A mixed genre book which can be read as a stand-alone or as the sequel to … More BACK FOR A LIMITED TIME
You may have heard of the tales collected by the brothers Grimm but this isn’t one of them. Once upon a time there were three brothers. Not being a fairy tale, you will understand that there were no magic beans, cows or valiant princes involved. They were just three ordinary sons. The younger two left … More A Grim Story
NEWS Shaman’s Drum is now reduced for a short while. The ebook costs less than a cup of coffee and it is far more satisfying. This book was written first because I “saw” the opening scenes in my head like a film-trailer. I was hooked and had to write the rest of the … More Less than a coffee but lasts longer
Ought to expect it, I suppose, with my Croning ceremony coming up. There have been an awful lot of the above going on around here. First of all there was my dear old pent.

I re-read my post “Journeying” and started to laugh myself silly. I am constantly amazed by my ability to ignore my own advice and teachings I have known for years. One of the biggest “fossilized faults” in my practice is flinging questions out into the Universe like an automatic tennis ball launcher and failing to notice … More ASK, LOOK and LISTEN
I suppose it is slightly ironical that when I post about my shaman search for answers to my own questions, it always prompts others to ask me about the process. I used to teach “the Craft” which is an overall and over-used term for anything a bit WooWoo. I don’t now but I am very … More Questions…
As many of you enjoyed my first Crone tale I thought I would tell you a personal one. I used to be a veterinary nurse and there are a couple of things in common with that and being a Crone. The decision to end suffering or try to prolong life is one and the impossibility … More Same problem
I owe this tale appearing to H J Blenkinsop a Twitter friend who is a Myth, monster and legend fiend, like me. She asked me to share, so I am pleased to oblige. As some of you who read this blog may know, I describe myself as Herself’s undertaker. I am not one of the … More A job for the Crone
Having taken so very long to get back to my manuscript for Book 3, I thought my readers might like a teaser. This is the Prologue (any Frankie Howerd impressions from Up Pompeii?) In my usual fashion, I have written this when the work is half finished, just as I wrote Book 2 before Book … More Sneaky peek – How It Begins
