Thank you for the journeys you share!

As the so called 'news' bombards us with the ways thoughtless humans cause havoc, it is of value to look at the sky and listen to the birds

Receiving digital gold for somethong you love doing while sitting on a Pacific ocean beach? You can't get much closer to heaven in our family! Xx

Oceans of congratulations on your digital medal from Wishing Shelf. I so enjoyed Daughter of Spies; it rang so true. It made me regret not getting to know you better at MPS.

Mary, thanks so much. I think we all kept our home life secrets to ourselves at boarding school.

How right you are.

I am grateful for your voice, written or out loud. I expect more special recognition to be in the offing. Fingers crossed. To make a living from writing is to me extraordinary. And to enable your reader to travel into other worlds and into characters fictional and non is the stuff of the gods!

Loved reading thios and looking at Pacific surf! You're right, we are never not writing, whatever it looks like to others as we stare out of windows or stroll on the beach! Great news about Daughter of Spies.

Thanks, Ros. I hope your event tonight goes well. I have such fond memories of chatting with you on that outdoor stage at Hugh's View. Our time in Mexico has been wonderful but we are missing our KW buddies...

Congratulations! And of course everything you've said here is the truth. A writer is always writing. But sometimes we're doing it in the most amazing places, as you are now, and we even take pictures!
