The story Jacqueline, while fictitious, is based on a friendship the author had during the mid-1960s. The sequence of events that appear as diary entries of 1965 and 1966 are factual and form the basis of the story. The rest of the narrative is pure fiction. The character Jacqueline portrays the author’s friend who tragically did take her own life in 1978. While the character name Jacqueline is not the name of the author’s friend, the story is written with a heartfelt memory of her.

10 Reasons to own a Dog as a pet rather than a Cat 1) A dog would faithfully remain by your side if you fell ill. A cat would wander off to find someone else who could use a tin opener. 2) Dogs give you unconditional love until they die.

You get really hurt if Cat is mad at you. 4) A dog will follow you to the ends of the Earth. A cat will only follow…

Being taught the joy of reading by his mother at age 3, Don has always been attracted to the written word. To this day, you can seldom find him without a book within reach. His fascination with vampires started in the 60s, when he first watched Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing play out their timeless battle. Something about the POWER of the vampire caught hold of him and would not let go. As Hollywood continued to provide rich, crimson visuals, authors like Stephen King, Eric Lustbader, Marc Olden, and Brian Lumley all served to feed his fascination with that dark,…

What makes a Fantastic Leading Man Mr. Darcy, The Duke of Hastings, whatever your taste! A romance is not a romance without a leading couple and even though I centre so much effort into all my characters, the one I concentrate on most is the leading man.

Easter is called a moveable feast because the date changes every year. Easter Sunday can fall on any date from 22 March to 25 April. The reason for this variation in the date of Easter is based on the lunar calendar (moon) rather than our more well-known solar one. Easter always falls on the first Sunday following the full Moon after the 21st March. In 2022 Good Friday is on 15th April and Easter Sunday on 17th April. Symbolism has always played an important part in festivals and celebrations, and Easter is no exception to this rule. Before Christianity…

What is your narrator worth? As audio books and voice over’s become more popular, narrators are becoming sought after for their skills in storytelling, so let’s look at what that means. Having the ability to ‘narrate’ is not the same as being able to ‘speak’. When you are talking, you are moving your mouth, imparting knowledge, gossip etc, when narrating, it is slightly different and so the skills need to be slightly different too. I cannot imagine anything worse than listening to a ‘narrator’ who merely, ‘talks’ their way through the book. Reading it as though to themselves in a…

Characters – believable or not…for that is the question? “A character is a person in a narrative work of arts (such as a novel, play, television series or film). Derived from the ancient Greek word kharaktêr, the English word dates from the Restoration. Character, particularly when enacted by an actor in the theatre or cinema, involves “the illusion of being a human person. In literature, characters guide readers through their stories, helping them to understand plots and ponder themes”. Snippet from Wikipedia Characters – there are so many to choose from. My imagination knows no bounds when conjuring up another character for my novels. The good, the bad, the ugly! The pretty, the villain, the joker. The heartthrob, the strong…

Is it difficult to write for children, you might ask? Surely it must be easier than writing for adults. The books are shorter, the words used are easier to understand, and will children even notice if you make minor errors?Oh yes, they’ll notice. And so will the publisher you are hoping will publish your book. Writing books for children is just as difficult as writing any book. Maybe the process is even more difficult. Why do I say that? Because children have short attention spans, therefore if you don’t grab their interest early on in the story, and keep it…

One of the first mentions of ‘Valentine’ was in Ancient Roman times when everyone was expected to worship the many Roman Gods.

Steps to Becoming a World Famous Writer Okay, so the title is just a come-on. If there were steps, I would have gone down that path many years ago, but the journey I took hasn’t made me a world famous writer . . . just a published one. So how did I get there? What helped me become addicted to the art of wordsmithing? Step One: Read, read, read. You can’t be a good writer or even a mediocre one without a reading background. For me, that started with DC Comics. Yes, I’ll admit it, Superman, Green Lantern, Flash,…

What scope should we have with ‘historical figures’ in our fictional writing? O.k., I know the above title is blasting itself in the backside, but as an historical author myself, I am always aware of keeping the ‘real characters’ as authentic as possible within a fictional setting, but just how easy do you think this is? Using characters from history intermingling them with fictional individuals can be like a terrible blind date if not careful, because nobody knows what conversations they did or didn’t have, what actions they may or may not have done, unless it was recorded, and just…

Customs in celebration of the New Year take place the world over. Strangely enough in Europe, the New Year was celebrated in the past at different times varying from Christmas to March, and the official celebration on 1st January is comparatively new in the scheme of things. Until the introduction of the Gregorian calendar in 1752, the official New Year in Britain began in March! As far as the common people were concerned however, it has always been celebrated on 1st January. Many of the customs associated with this turning point combine the elements of death and rebirth. The…

There are several theories as to the origin of Boxing Day, but in general the tradition has long included the wealthy giving money and other gifts to the poor. The European tradition dates to the Middle Ages, but some claim it dates back even farther to the late Roman/early Christian era when metal boxes were placed outside churches to collect special offerings connected to the Feast of Saint Stephen. A reference to Boxing Day’s origins appears in the Christmas Carol, “Good King Wenceslas.” Wenceslas, who was Duke of Bohemia in the early 10th century, saw a poor man gathering wood…

The use of greenery and lights at Christmas goes back to the celebration of the Kalends of January in ancient Rome. Kalends was a celebration of the Roman New Year when people gave each other gifts of green boughs, honey treats, lamps for light and warmth, and silver and gold objects (The latter probably being the most popular.) They also trimmed trees with trinkets and toys during Saturnalia, and put candles on them to indicate the sun’s return to earth. The Druids honoured Odin by tying golden apples and other offerings to tree branches, and set lighted candles on…

So, it is almost Christmas again, and time for the mad panic that it always causes as we rush around for cards and presents. That means it’s also time for my first Christmas blog, all about the origins of the special day. The word ‘Christmas’ comes from the Old English term ‘Cristes Mæsse’, meaning the ‘Mass of Christ’. The story of Christmas, as we all know, begins with the birth of a baby in Bethlehem. Many believe that Christ was born on the 25th, although the exact month is unknown. December could well have been chosen so the Catholic Church…

Thanksgiving is a national holiday celebrated on varied dates of the year in the United States and Canada celebrating the harvest and other blessings of the past year. Americans generally believe that their Thanksgiving is modelled on a 1621 harvest feast shared by the English colonists (Pilgrims) of Plymouth and the Wampanoag people. The Pilgrims travelled from Europe to the New World, a continent they had never known before, in hopes of creating a community free to worship God away from the strict rules of their old government. For many hard months they journeyed across the Atlantic Ocean enduring vicious…

They become bored and restless when surrounded by people or circumstances in which they have no interest. At such times, they find ways to disappear physically or mentally.

Writers by their very nature are sensitive people. It’s that sensitivity that makes you adept at your craft. However, that very same sensitivity that makes you…

The historic origins of Bonfire Night date to the conflict between virtually outlawed Catholics and the Protestant establishment of the 16th and early 17th century. On November 5, 1605, Guy Fawkes (the real one, not the stuffed variety) and a group of Catholic conspirators who felt badly treated by the King put 36 barrels of gunpowder in a cellar underneath the Houses of Parliament. (Not a bad idea, do I hear you say?) Some of those involved in the plot however, realised that innocent people would be killed in the explosion. One plotter wrote a letter warning his friend to…

My working background I’ve worked for the NHS as a data analyst for over twenty-five years. Over the past eighteen months it’s been demanding, pressured and relentless. Working weekends and evenings on eleven-hour days, twelve days on and two days off! It’s been scary, tiring, and stressful, but I’ve had a vice to come down after those long shifts… my writing. After many struggles, I became a mummy to our now 13 year old son, Thomas back in 2007. I felt like I’d been given the moon and stars to hold. Of course, sleepless nights and teething soon took the…

It will soon be Halloween everyone. I’m sure my character ‘Gertie’ from ‘Caution: Witch in Progress’ will enjoy this important day in all witches calendars! Though we celebrate Halloween on 31st October each year, do you know why? Well, here is a brief explanation!

The story begins in Alaska near the HAARP Complex, one of five previously existing locations refitted as doomsday shelters in case of a Rapid Climate Changing event. Big Thunder was that event. Around mid-century a long overdue earthquake at the northern periphery of the Mid-Atlantic-Ridge caused half of the pockmarked ice-sheet to cascade off Greenland and the following tsunami crashed global civilization. Two weeks later due to pressure being released on the island, the landmass jutted upwards releasing methane hydrates and other greenhouse gases, jettisoning most of the remaining ice. As a result, the thermal oceans currents shut down completely,…

A Few Facts About Ravens. Ravens are known to be highly intelligent – up there with the chimpanzees. They roam in adolescent ‘gangs’, are playful and mischievous, and can imitate human speech on a par with parrots. With a shiny, ebony body and a piercing stare they have often been the source of myths and legends. Ravens mate for life and are known to show empathy for one another. Strangely, a flock of ravens is called an ‘unkindness’. After many hours watching ravens interact with other animals and birds, author Jane Finch decided to write an adventure featuring these enigmatic…

However, he describes the killings in lurid detail, and with such gloating relish, that he utterly negates his delusion of detachment and reveals himself to be a cold-blooded, narcissistic psychopath. Sheehan and his team rush headlong down a series of blind alleys…

The rest of the signs represent his attention turned outward to humanity as a whole. Libra is not merely the sign of partnership, it is the sign of other people in general. Libra is the balance between the individual and society. To attain the understanding man seeks in Libra, there must be a compromise between the passion and the intellect.

How many programmes on TV have some people rolling about in hysterics, and leave others cold? Do you see what I mean? Humour is a personal thing, and the hardest part about writing it is that if you try too hard, it falls flat. If that happens too often in your book, then the reader will give up. That is something you seriously do not want to happen. So, how to write humour. It isn’t as easy as it sounds, is…
