Don't you love it when your writing shows you deeper meaning within your own life? Just had a moment of 'strike me dumb' realisation about an inner conflict of what I wanted and what I have. And, I love what I have more than what I thought I wanted. Dang!! #BookSky #Lighbulbmoment #WritingCommunity

How did you decide where to set your story? Mine was inspired by a mix of the soft edges of my country home and roof-top garden of a commercial building I used to work at in my former life in #PR #writing #BookSky It contrasts nicely with the other woman's perfect all white austere stone minimalism.

Nothing like a good cup of tea in front of the fire to get the #writing juices flowing. Homemade scones help too.
What kind of tea is your go to?
I'm a huge fan of #T2 Sticky Chai.

When I was a kid, I used to sing in stage musicals. It was one of my fave things to do. Sadly, I lost my soprano singing voice. Now I use my 'voice' tell stories in a different way - through story and #writing.
How are you using your voice?

I'm a #writer by profession. I love to write, it's been my creative outlet for decades. Recently though, I've tried #painting and I like it - makes the words flow better. These Magnolias are a first attempt at #AbstractArt.

One of the things I love about my country #writing retreat is its lovely garden where we still find new things each season. This is one of my fave finds. An old type of #hyacinth often found in 18 & 19th century churches & graveyards. #PlantAppreciationDay #Gardening #WritingCommunity #BookSky

Writerly friends, I'm torn. I'm writing a difficult section of the book. Should my MC's about to be ex-husband tell her he found her wedding ring or not? She hasn't said anything about losing it yet. And if he doesn't what will he do with it? #ThisOrThat #WritingCommunity #BookSky #AmWriting

One of the best things about writing is that the #inspiration can come from anywhere. I used imagery from a cracked piece of masonry to represent my MC's life falling apart in my first book. What's the most surprising inspiration you've come across? #writingCommunity #BookSky #WritingTheme

This is Bailey. He's my #writing partner, the fur-love of my life and a rescue puppy. Sometimes he's inspirational, sometimes he's a barky, farty, pain in the butt. But life is sooo much better with him in it.
