- Last week I proudly showed Gina’s books that are on display in the window of Waterstones, Weston-super-Mare, to two bewildered security officers.

Although I had been busy with my camera and tripod, their stealth and skill in executing a covert ...

- I'm glad today is Saturday. I feel a bit overwhelmed with Monday on the horizon. I thought I had Friday off from my day job, School Director for an alternative school. I was wrong. I had a thorny computer run to plow through and then figure out how to squeeze in the appointments for my lost "day off."Today started with a Harvest of Local Authors at Barnes and Noble Waterside ...

So, overall, was it a waste of time? Possibly, but at the same time, maybe not. It just shows that I have become over-confident. I prepared heavily for the meeting and was certain I had all the bases covered. I ...

- I see myself as a very realistic person, but a realism that has a sprinkle of optimism and hope that is a permanent feature after realising years ago that laying the firm foundations of success has a lot to do with good planning, energy, determination, hard work and belief.

I didn't know it was lovely as I hadn't been there before, but I did know that it had been voted #1 Coffeehouse in northern New Jersey by NJ Monthly Magazine. I also knew that the shop had recently begun a book signing series called "The Fine Print," so when I ...
