I’m lucky enough to have had my first novel, Despite Losing it on Finkle Street, published recently. I say lucky with an aggrieved expression, as writing a novel was actually quite hard work. But I’ve been asked how much of this is down to luck, so I decided to tell my story, for what it’s worth.

I got to watch my great neice yesterday... she is such a love and I enjoy my time with her. Looks like I will get to babysit her every wed it helps heal my heart.

I can't imagine being a teenager and not having a family- seeing those 14-17 yr olds asking for someone to love them just broke my heart.. maybe that is the reason things happened how they did???

Or possibly read some mystery/suspense novels by my favorite authors like Mary Higgins-Clark while in bed. Rainy days always make me feel this way, where as bright and sunny days bring out the best in me. I don't experience...
