Fairy floss

Well, given the last post was kinda heavy – and there will be other “heavy” posts to come as I bare my soul a little bit -  I figure a bit of light relief is called for, a little levity, something light-hearted. Yep, time to talk politics. JUST KIDDING !!!  Feck I worked for State politics [...]

Ungoodhealth 01

Taking such a long break from blogging was not something I wanted to do. Circumstances forced it upon me, as I’ve said before, because of health issues blah-di-blah. It’s also why I’m posting so often now – and drafting, making notes and planning other posts – because I can. This is actually very difficult for [...]

Help somebody

Brenna Yovanoff is one of my favourite new-found writers. I have always loved the Fantasy and Urban Fantasy genres, and I enjoy the YA entries into that pool.  There are probably a couple of blurbs / reviews of Urban Fantasy / YA books on this blog. My Books Wish List has kind of exploded recently .

More booksesss

LOTS more booksesss . . . Wheeeee!!!  I finally finally finally made my  long awaited Book Depository Order .

“Books, glorious books . . . “

“. . .  fat hardbacks and werewolves . . .” Well maybe not werewolves this time but flesh-eating water-horses are pretty damn scary-cool and bloodthirsty, right? I am looking forward to a couple of orders flying in from other countries fairly soon;  a pre-ordered copy of Maggie Stiefvater’s new book The Scorpio Races SIGNED and [...]

Recipe Index

Moved this  Post / Category around = part of “cleaning house” Index of all recipes on this site with linky-links. . . . . . . . . . .

. . . And back again

Well guess what, after dumping “Otterkat” and moving over to “Crazy Diamond”, then going on a very long hiatus, I’ve decided to start up the old bloggy thing again. I have been so inspired by various writers, blogs and sites around [I’m looking at YOU, Maggie Stiefvater], that I wanted an online place to ramble, [...]
