Did you know a man has a rib cage comprising of 12 ribs on either side. I didn’t know that, I was never that interested in biology at school. But around lunchtime on Tuesday, while enjoying a three day break in Pernea in Cyprus, I fell and...
Yeah, I know what you were thinking, but this sort of screwing needs a screwdriver! Never mind the disappointed looks, dear reader, just keep reading. It was birthday time at the end of January a few years back, mine to be precise, and my wife...
When you’re writing a book, be it a piece of fiction or fact based, there comes a point where your book takes over the writing and it will tell you when it’s reached its conclusion. That seems to be doubly so for trilogies and series...
It’s the 47th day since I started my self-imposed 55 day writing challenge. The idea was I needed to finish my work in progress, The Brittle Sea, which was a little bit in the doldrums at 53k words and I wanted to get it to 90k. So I...
It’s been nearly four months since we lost Harvey to cancer. And now we have another problem with cancer, this time in Holly. We recently had a lump removed from her right rear leg which the vet didn’t think was cancerous. But after...

Day 33 and I’ve only got three weeks left of writing to complete my 1st draft of The Brittle Sea. But, as we all know, life tends to throw you a curved ball every now and then. We received a phone call Sunday night from our vet. Holly had a...
I started writing The Brittle Sea in 2013, almost seven years ago. Originally I used the pen name of Mary Allson-Kincaid. But no sooner had I posted the first chapter than someone recognised the style as mine and that was the end of Mary...
Many countries over the centuries have had their fair share of treasonists. Be it for political, ideological or financial reasons, at the end of the day a traitor is still a traitor, no matter why he or she committed their treason. But in...
