This is the quiet corner of my website.

Meet Faith... the initial design at least There’s something quietly special about seeing a character for the very first time. As I write a story, there are often images of the characters in my head, which helps my words come alive, but it isn't until an illustrator works their magic, that everything falls into place. Faith has lived in my heart for a long while now. Not just as a character in a story, but as a feeling. A gentle reminder of that little part of us which still b

Hello, For most of my life, I have done everything to make sure other people were happy. I would go along with whatever my friends wanted to do, proclaiming 'I don't mind'. At the time, to be honest, I didn't mind. I was just happy to go with the flow. Although part of me wishes now that I had minded, because perhaps I would have grown into my early 20s and 30s with a little more strength and confidence in my own opinion. I lived by other people’s expectations. Work, play, li

Hello, For a lot of my life growing up, I looked outward for answers. When someone asked me a question, I quite often felt myself freeze inside, as though everything had stopped. I would look around for advice, approval, reassurance, or for someone else to speak for me. I simply didn't have the confidence in myself, my voice, or my opinions, to speak up about what I really thought for fear of being knocked back, contradicted, or starting a debate in some way. It wasn’t until

Hello, I am sure you have all felt those moments in life when it feels as though things don’t add up. In your head, you have everything mapped out and when plans shift, doors close, or progress feels slower than expected it feels as though your entire world has been turned upside down. I know I surely have felt that! In those moments, it’s easy to assume something has gone wrong, and when I was in my early thirties it was difficult to not get bogged down in that thought, and

Hello, Oh boy, are we living in a world that’s moving faster than ever! It feels like that to me anyway. As though everyone is looking for faster decisions, faster answers, faster everything. Sometimes, I feel the quiet pull to slow down, not to resist progress, and to try and stay 'human' as much as possible. I'm a child of the 80's, when we could go outside to play until it was dark if we wanted, TV's had three channels (and it was super exciting when number four came along

Hello, I want to speak today to those of you who are quiet, not because you have nothing to say, but because there’s a lot happening inside. Once upon a time, that was me. Someone who wouldn’t say ‘boo’ to a goose! Someone who sat in class looking at the beautiful patterns on the carpet, and as I grew and entered my 30’s, the someone who didn’t want to stand up and be heard in meetings in case I was knocked back down again. However, now in my 40’s, I know that quiet is often

Hello, I’ve been thinking lately about rest. Not the kind we’re told we should take, but the kind we actually need. In a world where we are on the go constantly, we are asked from every direction what we think; and not just by humans any more, but by computers too. Some days, I just want to lock myself in a room, switch off the lights and reset. Mostly, restoring myself looks like being alone with a book and a cup of coffee. Quiet. Still. No demands. Whilst, at other times, t
