I’ve been really busy during the ‘lockdown’ period. OK, I confess mostly I’ve been busy gardening – it’s guaranteed to lift my spirits and distract me from worries, and of course I don’t have to leave home to do it. This is part of my tiny wildflower meadow.
I have done some writing though. A few short stories, an article, and a bit towards the next novel.
Two of my stories are currently in UK magazines. One is in Take A Break’s Fiction
Feast. I’ve not seen that yet. The other is in My Weekly and I love the picture they’ve used.
I also really like the daffodil illustration for my story in last week’s Allas (a Swedish publication).
As you can probably guess these stories are both gardening related. A lot of my short stories are – I’ve published four collections of 24 garden themed stories. You can find them, and my other books, here.
I think all that justifies me getting out there again today – don’t you?

The paperbacks of my collection of romantic short stories, “Sunbeams from the Heart”, continue to sell quite well, probably for the same reason. Mostly the large print too!
