What Do YOU think?

Hello readers, and thank you for being here. I have decided to turn this week’s blog into what hopefully could be a communication exercise. Each week I write your blog, with no real idea about which you like, or even hate! Do you enjoy my blogs in general, and find them interesting, or would you prefer different topics? If possible, let me know which you enjoy, which not so much. Do you enjoy the factual ones, humour, astrology, origins of days we celebrate often without knowing why? Useful sites and tips for writers? Or even if there are any topics…

The Human Survival Guide to Travelling with your Pet

The Human Survival Guide to Travelling with your Pet

Comments 0 Comment

Here is some light entertainment for those who share their lives with cats or dogs. 1)         Preparing your Dog:             He will be happy to travel anywhere with you, as long as you use the magic word “Ta ta’s”             Preparing your Cat:             Your cat DOES NOT like to travel, and will only do so in a box, or in an utter state of turmoil (or both). 2)         Getting Your Dog in:             He will joyfully jump into your car because he trusts you. Doesn’t that make you feel guilty since last time he was in the car you…

Why do adults read children’s books?

Why do adults read children’s books?

Comments 0 Comment

And yes, they definitely do. In some cases it might be parents or grandparents reading to their children, but certainly not always. I, and many other adults it seems, simply love to read children’s books. There must be a reason. In my case as a children’s writer, part of the reason might be to check out other children’s authors out there, what they write about, how they carry the story through, and how the best sellers make it. That much is true, but my need to read children’s books runs much deeper. So, what compels us to return to the…

The TAURUS Personality

The TAURUS Personality

Comments 0 Comment

Taurus is the second sign of the zodiac, representative of the physical senses. What man can see, touch, and physically hold represents the reality of his position. It is why the celestial heritage of Taureans is to conserve physical resources and possessively cling to people whom they regard as their own. Their strongest desire is for personal security. Broken promises or the betrayal of others are threats to this security. Their reaction to such personal affronts is likely to be bitter, and those who inflict such abuses will not be given another chance. Disappointed Taureans can behave in a manner…

Mother’s Day is celebrated across the world in more than 50 countries, though not all countries celebrate it on the same day.

The first day of May is known as May Day, a time of year when warmer weather brings newly grown flowers and blossoms to the trees.

Book Reviews

Book Reviews are a vital part of promoting books for authors. The top authors need them and depend on them, and even more so the lesser known authors. Book reviews are long or short written views about an author’s book, often submitted to Amazon or GoodReads etc. They tend to be based on personal opinions from the reader of the book. Did they enjoy the story, were the characters likeable, would they like to read more by the same author? It is important therefore that each book has as many reviews as possible. A book that some might rate as…

How children relate to positive role models in fantasy books

How children relate to positive role models in fantasy books

Comments 2 comments

All good books contain role models that the reader strives to be like, and this is especially the case in children’s books. Children are like sponges who soak up everything around them, and when it comes to books they don’t just read them, they live them. They like to read about characters who have to face hard tasks, make difficult decisions, and who contribute greatly to achieving necessary aims. This is never more so than in fantasy books where worlds depend on the achieving of key tasks by brave adventurers. These characters usually have traits that the children already admire,…

The ARIES Personality

The ARIES Personality

As the first sign of the zodiac, Aries represents the raw energy of life itself, which is the first step in being part of the universe. Babies think of themselves as the centre of everyone else’s universe. As they grow older, they learn they are not the centre but part of a family group. It is the karmic responsibility of the Aries-born to accept the idea that they are not the centre of the universe but part of the larger social order of all men. Aries personalities who do not develop this kind of maturity are demanding and infantile in…
