It has been an age since I said hello – though perhaps no one even noticed????? I have not written the old bloggeroo….It’s not that I haven’t thought about it, but because I’ve had my head stuck in TWO book edits. Ah, I hear you say, how bloody exciting is...

It has been a very long time since I have checked in with the blog. Most of you know it’s because I have been off gallivanting across Europe, ignoring all my responsibilities in the USA. Earlier this year, I made a decision and subsequently a plan to bugger off...
