Summer’s end (The Stolen Child)
a short story: Megan looked over the last of the Black -eyed Susans glowing in the morning sun. It was time to lock up the summer cottage forever, she thought. Something happened yesterday that had confirmed all her old fears and misgivings about the place. Some years before she had inherited the little house from…
Not always here and never all there
I wonder if I’m missed!! I’ve really fallen by the wayside in blogging. I admit to using Flickr on and off as it has been a lot easier to post and poof. Here I must be more thoughtful and with my previous bout with depression (SAD) plus, and then a painful sciatica in…
Now is the winter of my discontent
Hello my dears! Well, you won’t believe! I received my new Canon only to find it was defective! This is now two strokes of bad luck! The first being that my old camera got wet and died, supposedly from taking a few pictures of the lovely snow, and the second in receiving a lemon (also…
Back again with Monochrome Madness
I’ve had a disastrous week!! My companion eye who presents me with the inspiration to develop my visions has up and died.

And how will other worlds fare with…
Tales of the Tuatha (Chapters 35 & 36)
We are nearing the end my dear readers- only one more installment to go after this and why has it become such a struggle and so, so hard!!? I revised and re-revised these two chapters till my eyes fell out and my brain froze. I hesitated to push the post button. I have to stop. I can think…

The Chronicles of Niamh
I am going to be taking a few days to deal with some family and other related things. I’ve had to slow down the last while and take a breath!! Back after the weekend! Happy Easter to all!! http://www.mediafire.com/download/thftxod9winf6c0/wind_from_the_south.mp3 I’m also hoping to finish my Tales of the Tuatha that I have been working on,…
Tales of the Tuatha (chapter 34 of the keep it sweet and short tales)
Background: The story is rapidly coming to it’s conclusion and becoming harder for me to write knowing this. I started the tales a year ago as an exercise in writing simple little fantasies about a young girl of the Tuatha de Danaan trying to find her lost dreams, but as I went along it began…
