Retired to the Scottish Highlands, walks just the one dog now.
Finding Blue Sky to be full of the support I've needed to re start my writing.

So #WritingCommunity, a funny thing happened to me in Waterstones, Inverness. Was paying for a reference book when a lady walked in, stood right beside me and asked the staff for a copy of #SnowOnTheBen. I know she meant the old nonfiction mountaineering book, but I had to tell her it was my wip too

Given so much of #SnowOnTheBen is on jet planes there is plenty of snips with #airport.
It's created an earworm though, off now to listen to The Motors

In #SnowOnTheBen Kate and James are forever trying to reconnect, could this time be the right time?

Just the one #transfer in #SnowOnTheBen. It's where the assertive Kate first meets the shy geologist James, and sets off a 25 year chain of events.

It wasn't deliberate to write about a Texas lawyer's office and then compare it with a Scottish one (an earlier snip) but here we are.
