Posted on Sun, 16 Oct 2022
Please note this piece was written a few weeks before the death of our Great Queen Elizabeth II, and some weeks before a new prime Minister thought she could rule effectively without convening a meeting of a round table of her own, which omission...

Posted on Sun, 09 Oct 2022
I did enjoy reading this tale Marandina. I enjoyed the fantasy element of the magic carpet ride to another place/dimension. As the Shadow King destroyed nature in our real world I felt there must be a bad ending on the way, but thankfully you...

A perfect example of what happens when the power goes down, in the future! Very imaginative, I enjoyed reading it.

Posted on Sun, 14 Aug 2022
As always you have told a tale which describes normal behaviour well, but leads into a gripping drama of cliffhangers and possibilities, the fear of the unknown and uncertainty! It reminds me in many ways of your 'Enchantress Of Avalon' story...
