I couldn't believe the beauty of this rose seen earlier this week.
Isn't it perfect in every way? 🌸

By the way, the next instalment of Audrey's story is on the blog.

The reason I write.
And the reason why I blog helpful friendly ideas.

Fiction entertains, comforts, soothes. It also provides insights, laughter, strength, compassion and hope.

That's why I write.

Technology, thy name is Difficult!
More glitches, but here's the lovely flower from my Friday blog, the last part of Penny's story.

I hope you have been enjoying the read!

How much are these gazanias loving the sunshine? ❤️
Creating characters is hard work but a lot of fun, too. Today on the blog I discuss the evolution of the character of Leisha, and some surprising things I learnt about her.
Happy Friday!

Some technical hitches here!
But my Friday blog went up as usual, and we learnt more about Penny from Because Life.
The new book is coming along nicely, and the cover reveal will be soon ❤️

Meanwhile how gorgeous is the colour of this geranium?

Sliding off the sofa, plan to carpet plow my way to the shower propelled by sheer aggravation.

Why the heck am I so tired lately. #becauselife

Today's blog features another draft slice of Because Life ❤️
Audrey is stoic and heroic, as always.

Monday's blog was the last of my present-buying perspectives, this time: How to choose a great Christmas gift.

A little more of the background to my draft of the book Because Life drops today on the blog.
We learn about Penny, the third of the friends.
It's interesting to look at my draft as I review the excerpts for the blog. I hope it's a win-win for author and reader alike.

Time to grab a cuppa & head off to my blog.
Episode 3 of Because Life lands today ❤️
Leisha was an amazing character to write. She's smart, funny & bends rules to suit herself.

Find link in bio and in the replies.
Happy reading!
