Rtemis was VERY disappointed with 'Fate'. She found out Marian L Thorpe wrote the story about the black dog. AND she had to stand in front of our (splendid) pomegranate shrub because my story title is 'Six Pomegranate Seeds' #FateStories

It seems like a good day to post the photos I took during Pride Parade in Copenhagen last year. So much fun and it didn't hurt to have a young gay DJ from Amsterdam high-fiving everyone with me. I think it was my camera that attracted him - or adopting a granny!

My author copies have arrived! The Romanian translation of 'Someone To Look Up To' is now published in a print run of 4000 and my Romanian publisher will be marketing it to schools and students. I love the thought of teachers discussing the themes in the book with young people. Book link in reply.
