The Gloaming

Lately, I've found it hard to find any time to myself... and when it is quiet, I seem to be luminescently challenged.

Dear Nephew Donovan doesn't like the dark, and we have been treated to alot of dark lately courtesy Ol' Man Winter. Very quickly we discovered the only way to calm this little guy down was by giving him a 'coal miner' flashlight. Trouble is, he wouldn't give it back. =(



Never fear, the lights are back on, and I have returned to Edinburgh! Yippee! Normal book reviewing shall resume shortly.

Baby Blues

Hi all you cats and kittens!

Sorry for the delay in posting about this months novels... I've been on the road (Florida and Washington), down with pneumonia, and chasing a certain nephew... wee baby Donovan at 15 months (see left). Hope to get the first of November's novels finished by December 1st.
