Writing 'The End.'


It's always satisfying to write those words on the first draft of a novel! The shelter-in-place order we're living under is a mixed blessing for me. Yes, we can't go out unless for essentials, but it also allowed me plenty of time to write. Appropriately enough for Shakespeare's birthday, a volume of his works features prominently in the new story.

Life in the Time of Coronavirus


This isn't the most regular of blogs. I see the last post I wrote here was three years ago. Ouch! So, I'll try to update at least every week or so from now on.

The Corvid-19 pandemic afflicting the world is a mixed blessing to writers and artists. Many people are finding the enforced quarantine and restricted movement a burden, for which I sympathise. Not being the most extroverted of people I'm tolerating the isolation better than most. It allows me a bit more time to work on manuscripts without distractions, and even time to create a blog post now and again. I'll also have a nice piece of news to share later regarding a new book series, but more of that anon.

In the meantime, I hope everyone stays safe. Hunker down, observe the measures against the pandemic, and see you on the other side.
