My Hardest Decision
I’ve had to make a lot of difficult decisions in my life. Like most people, I’ve been confronted with situations where I have had to take a really difficult decision and haven’t known whether it was the correct one or not until later. That’s sometimes what makes the decision difficult.…

As a historian, this prompt is so up my street. I got excited as soon as I saw it. But then I thought…I can only pick one? How do I do that? I love history. All history. I am fascinated by people and psychology, and I think that has always…

Day 55 – Wellbeing
I haven’t written for over a week on here (other than a blog yesterday) for no other reason than I haven’t really been inspired to. My inspiration has been consumed by the edits I am making to my trilogy which have been suggested by a very kind editor. The progress…
