Latest story out in the wild!
Autumn glow out the window while I wrote a 100 word piece for a competition that accidentally led to me writing a whole chapter of the current WIP. I was back in the eighties and loving it 🥰

Proud of myself! I stuck with it! The early manuscript went through quite the journey: shortlisting with Penguin books, 1 to 1s, then lived in a drawer until I had the skill to complete it. 3 years later!!!!

Sometimes we need these little moments of peace. Later in the day the place will belong to dogs chasing seagulls, toddlers splashing in the shallows, dog walkers and picnic blankets. For now it belongs to the early risers, the wild swimmers, and the gulls. #scotland #thisishome

A walk down to the beach is always a good idea. I’m so lucky the east coast of Scotland is my home ❤️
Resting following publication of my pocket novel The Sweetest Thing which features coastal Scotland, Orkney and Italy.

Final read through ahead of submission to my editor. Top Tip: I do this on Kindle as my brain reads my own work differently there as I’ve written it on PC and laptop.

A most glorious day yesterday in the historic area of Dysart in Scotland. I am so lucky to have this on my doorstep. The sounds of the waves was comforting. #scotland

Edinburgh looked particularly pretty tonight. Meeting up with writer friends old and new is always a delight.

A stroll around Dundee, home of D.C.Thomson, newspaper and magazine publisher, who publish my fiction. Looking splendid in the sunshine! Confirmation today that my latest story acceptance will appear in July (it’s a summer story!) PS Oor Wullie is an iconic comic character!

Make that x4 stories in the first two months of 2025! Two were subbed months ago, demonstrating patience is a virtue! I’m so pleased as this storyline is a very special one getting a commissioned piece of art. How lovely! More news when I know when and where it will appear. #writers

Three stories sold already this year! Sorry for the humble brag but writers know how hard it can be! I believe in celebrating every step of the journey, and my SM is a record of that! I may have done a happy dance around the room (my dog may have joined in). Writers - keep going! #writingcommunity

I made the front page with my short story The Library of Second Chances. Such a thrill! A gorgeous illustration by Jim Dewar too 😍

X2 stories accepted in one day - what a feeling! Apologies if it sounds like a brag, it isn’t meant to. I am so relieved to start 2025 in this position - it helps me believe last year wasn’t a fluke and I can repeat that success..if I keep writing & keep submitting. Keep going! ❤️

January so far = x 4 pieces submitted. Currently working up a new outline/proposal for something and at this point it is coffee and cough bottle keeping me going 🤧 so it’s feet up and dog cuddles today.

Good Morning! A beautiful sunrise here in Scotland. This is where I am writing - technically, I’m currently researching for a story. Even though it’s fiction, I try my best to ensure it exists in a possible place/time and that nothing jars.
