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”
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. I am not really sure if my latest book, Bethulia, adds another genre of detective crime, or if, like everything else I’veContinue reading “Publishing Soon: Bethulia and the art of detection.”
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”
Shepherding Readers
Looking for a good read? There’s a new kid on the internet block of book recommendations: Shepherd.com. It is still growing and developing, but I can vouch for it being a site with excellent taste because it features one of my historical fiction books, Long Shadows. Visitors can browse books in two way. They canContinue reading “Shepherding Readers”

What’s your Work Love/Appreciation Test? I heard through the human resources grapevine about the Love Test, in which Gary Chapman’s “Five Love Languages” theory has been adapted to workplace “appreciation” training. This is, naturally, HR’s fault. After many decades in the human resources trenches, I know that everyone hates HR…
Riding the Storm
Back in 2020, I published The Covenant, whose story begins in 1883 with two girls walking home as a thunderstorm approaches… “Above the heathery crags on the far side of the broad vale, clouds were piling up, ash and charcoal, heaving themselves into volcanic plumes, turning the late June sky to November gloom. Beneath them,Continue reading “Riding the Storm”
