Writing is plodding along. I really need a housekeeper to do all the laundry and washing up, the cooking and baking, the shopping and volunteer work. Then I'd have enough time to finish everything ready for editor Fiona. Holy Hell has just gone to her. It's my first attempt at creative non-fiction which is also a memoir, a memoir of the last, quite shocking six years at St Luke’s Anglican church. As one who believed in the Anglican church and its clergy as one of the few Christian churches which tried to fulfil the Christian precepts the church propounds, these last six years, where we angry and hurt parishioners have tried to get our archbishop and bishop put things right in our parish, have been cruel. The book will be launched at the end of October. If you enjoy true crime with a real horror twist do get a copy and read all about it.

By Jennifer Kyrnin
Jormandr, a young dragon with a penchant for boasting, a habit that grates against the harmony of the woodland creatures and an apprentice witch, Pearl Blackwand, who happens to be listening in.

A Wrinkle in the Mind
by Bruce M. Perrin
When Violet Cruz accused U.S. Representative Alan Barclay of being "the spawn of a Martian whore" and took a shot at him, everyone agreed that she was delusional. It was just another conspiracy theory in Washington, DC, but Private Investigator Rebecca Marte begins to uncover a more earthly sinister plot.
I really enjoyed this, the twist is clever.
