Dear followers, as I started my Philosophy of Balance, it was always my intention to move into the domain of morality as well, and today I will gently try to enter this domain…

Well, America was nice while the idea lasted. It wasn’t perfect, but progression used to be a hill we could continue to hike up. Now that hill is largely a crater; strip mined and bombed out and those at the top still digging..

Had a lovely workshop today in calendar decoration. Worked with three layers of paper to create a stamp to leave the final imprint on the calendar itself. Absolutely lovely experience, and a great addition for my writing studio 🤍🐯🗓️

If I were to release a novel in 2026, how does it work with trigger warnings?
Do I list them all? E.g.: Emotional abuse, adultery, trauma, religion, animal abuse.
Or may an explicit genre statement be sufficient?
Anyone up for a gander? Asking for my pen name.

In Child of the Moon, my readers descended down into a fearful hamlet in 1924 Scotland.
In 2016, I will send them down into the mind of a grieving widow who has lost her children.
Mrs. Cleyton – An absolutely terrifying suspense about the insanity of grief.

#ING is a Dutch bank with a high carbon footprint, but my wife and I still run our shared account through them.
Thankfully, we have decided that successful couples don’t need a shared account. Sometimes a little open communication is all that’s required to make an impact.
