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...
Our dog Harvey passed away on Tuesday 18th June 2019 after several illnesses. He soldiered through all that was put in his way and was of good humour right to the very end. Here’s the beginning of a series of stories I’ve written over...
