What are you curious about? They say curiosity killed the cat, well, in that case, I'd have none of my seven lives left (love a conjoined metaphor!). I'm interested in most things. Too many I've always found, as I can't concentrate on one thing and get really good at it. I suppose it's one of... Continue Reading →

Write about a random act of kindness you've done for someone. This is definitely a cringe inspiring question. I really dislike having to 'toot my own horn'. However, what I would say is that I sometimes shop in a supermarket in England called the Co op (and I'm not sponsored by them in anyway!). They... Continue Reading →

How would you describe yourself to someone who can't see you? Interesting question, as the word 'describe' gives the writer the openess needed to make their own choices. Do you go for what a seeing person would see? Do you describe your personality, as that influences how you look? Or, do you describe what you... Continue Reading →

What's the story behind your nickname? I have had quite a few nicknames over the years; it's something of a family tradition. Most of the people on my mother's side of the family had nicknames.

Sadly, typical days and normality are now on the horizon and I can't stand banality (if that's a word), even though it feels safer.... Continue Reading →

If you could bring back one dinosaur, which one would it be? My son would definitely say the Spinosaurus; however, my preference would be some vegetarian giant, like the diplodocus. Where would you keep it, once its back - I've no idea!?

The Kingdom Over the Sea is a stunning, powerful and magical adventure that completely enthralled me from the fast-paced, intriguing prologue to the wonderful ending which makes me desperate for more from this world.

Grieving the recent loss of her mother, Yara finds a letter from her, with a strange set of instructions, telling her that she must return to the city of her birth, Zehaira, a place that is not on any map and one that Yara has never heard of. Yara decides to follow the instructions, and finds herself in a city with golden domes where she can understand the language, a language which her mother had taught her.
