Posted on Fri, 17 Jan 2025
I wonder if you have to be a certain type to be a guide on those ghostly walks or perhaps you become a little bit haunted yourself. The Grim Reaper reminded me a bit of those extra people on the ghost train who poke you or pull your hair. You've...

Magic and animals with beautiful names and all the accompanying complex dramas. Animal relationships are complicated just like us humans, certainly the one's who I've had the pleasure of living with. The way you bring it all to life with dialogue...

I am so sorry to read this, Penny. It was very recently you wrote about the shocking diagnosis and how daunted you were feeling. He looks so lovely in the photograph.
I hope writing can help you to process the shock and give you something...

That was a fascinating read, Maxine, all about your brother's problems and how you dealt with them with little support. I hope you found peace in the end knowing you did all you could for him.
