In my first published novel, A Time For Silence, there are two parallel stories. One follows Sarah as she investigates the mystery of her grandparents. The other is the story of her grandmother Gwen. The first is littered with confusion, as Sarah misunderstands just about everything that she discovers. The second is the truth, asContinue reading “Bethulia: Truly Unreliable.”

My Review of Bethulia by Thorne Moore #TuesdayBookBlog #DiamondPress
I am delighted with this brilliant review of Bethulia by Judith Barrow.
Bethulia and Otto
This is Otto, and he has a significant role in my new novel, Bethulia. Okay, when I say he’s Otto, that’s my name for him. He is actually “The Teifi Otter” and he was presented to the town of Cardigan on the Teifi estuary by David Bellamy on behalf of the Dyfed Wildlife Trust, toContinue reading “Bethulia and Otto”
Beryl, Warrior Princess
On April 21st 1926, with the best doctors in attendance, a baby girl was born in the Mayfair townhouse of the Earl and Countess of Strathmore and Kinghorne. The birth of Elizabeth Alexandra Mary was announced that day on a silent Pathe newsreel, predicting that she would one day be Queen. Five days earlier, withoutContinue reading “Beryl, Warrior Princess”
Publishing Soon: Bethulia and the art of detection.
It’s a new year so it must be time for a new book. I don’t really stick to specific genres, since I’ve written historical fiction, futuristic science fiction, family sagas and domestic noir.

Moonstruck
If I wrote Space-based science fiction set in some distant part of our galaxy, or even in a different galaxy altogether, I could have free rein to create planets, moons and asteroids as I wished and call them whatever I wanted. Rashly, I stuck to our own Solar System, partly because I am fascinated byContinue reading “Moonstruck”
Duffers and Musk
I was listening to Start The Week on Radio 4 this morning, all about the moon and further afield – our attitudes, fantasies and intentions of exploration and exploitation. It was startling to hear that Elon Musk really wanted to colonise Mars because it would be totally unregulated territory. None of those pesky labour lawsContinue reading “Duffers and Musk”
