I logged on to the Edinburgh Book Festival website first thing yesterday morning, but my hopes of an early scan of the 2010 events programme was dashed when I found out it was a 12 noon launch. I had to wait. It was tortuous.
Eventually the EBF launch press release was announced and by [...]

Get this. Yesterday I mentioned one of my short stories was rejected on Tuesday after 3 days and that I’d sent the piece straight back out. That same piece was returned to me YESTERDAY—1 day on submission!!! Obviously it’s already back out there but come on! It’s a good story, people! It’s called WHISKY [...]

I spent most of yesterday lathering after-sun cream on my pink forehead and the back of my neck. I was positively glowing as I walked around Edinburgh in the morning and stopped for a coffee and pastry to read the paper. No wonder people were looking at me and tourists were confused.
My neck is [...]

Early rise yesterday morning after a series of really weird dreams. Lost in on stormy ocean with Lenny Henry was one, friendship betrayal another and sex with a fictional character from The West Wing the other. I woke up feeling amused, tearful and very horny.
I got handed two Easter Eggs, both of the [...]

I spent most of yesterday trying to lift myself out of a lag. My back was sore, my eyes tired, and I just felt like lying down and never looking at another computer screen ever again. But, STELLA won’t sell itself so it’s on with the show and on with the promotion wagon!
The weather [...]

Hope you all enjoyed yesterday with Michelle Miles – isn’t she a wonderfully spirited and entertaining author?
Yesterday saw the temperature finally drop to more acceptable levels. Tuesday was cloudy but still extremely humid, but yesterday, thank goodness, was far more bearable. It’s such a relief, because the last thing I enjoy is having to [...]

Anyone who lives or was visiting any part of the British Isles over the past two days, will know it is no understatement when I say the weather has been nothing short of Mediterranean. Even today as I sit in my squalid office, I look outside and once again the skies are blue and [...]

I was kind of glad the weekend finished when it did. It was all over the place and at times not in the least enjoyable. Parts of it were, though, so they are the bits I’ll talk about. Even for a Monday morning my bad mood is pretty advanced, and not even the roll [...]

Another day and another brace of ballistic baw heids. Where oh where do they come from, and why oh why do they keep crossing my path? Is it a national thing or is it just Edinburgh? Is this the price we pay for our schools having more holidays than term days? STUPID PEOPLE ARE [...]

I had a packed day yesterday; no day of rest for moi, put it that way. After getting up early (6am kind of early) to work on day job stuff, I gave the back garden a complete overhaul: cut the grass, binned garbage, weeded, swept, hosed, and stuck the bunnies out to play [...]
