The link isn’t working for me, @sandradavies ??
Sandra replied to the topic DIY soapbox in the forum Podium 6 years, 10 months ago

I’ve a couple of reviews on Blurb already, but would be pleased for a few more – honest ones, of course, (I’m not wanting to bit it up for sales) just whether you enjoyed (or didn’t) and why. Or Goodreads.

‘Longest shadows reach’ and ‘Commission and omission’ will be added within a couple of weeks – unless I get them out there I’ll fiddle with…[Read more]

Tortoiseshell Specs

It was always worse when you first entered the house – the smell that made you want to hold your breath till you’d opened the windows, and the stuffy heat because she wouldn’t let you.
‘She’s asleep, the poor love,’ Thelma picked up her bag. ‘Call me if you need me.’ The door clicked shut behind her.

Am rediscovering why I love writing as I begin work on Squidge’s monthly competition. Thank you Squidge!
I haven’t been around here much lately, but hello again, and I hope to remedy that, my friends. Novel submitted. ‘Declines’ coming in… but there’s still hope, somewhere. And another novel in the wings.
Not at York, mainly for family…[Read more]

Good. I’ve already started to get to know my character. And I don’t hate him, which is nice 🙂

DREAM WEAVER (267 WORDS INCLUDING TITLE)

In my dreams I’m strong and fearless. My sword is sharp and silver, but I won’t stab you if I don’t have to: I’ll give you the chance to surrender and walk away.
But only one chance, mind.
In my dreams, there are green trees that smell of apples and yellow roses that fill the garden with sunshine. Vampire…[Read more]
