The Temporan Chronicles Pronunciation Guide
After considering topics I could cover in this blog, I thought it would be a good idea to write a pronunciation guide for the character and place names in The Temporan Chronicles. Some of the names are, after all, not exactly intuitive to pronounce. My own mother has problems guessing some of them! So I…

Playlist for The Lady of the Hour
Like some authors, I have certain songs I like to listen to when I’m writing. Well, sometimes I like to listen to music, but other times I have to shut it off because I’ve hit a point where I really need to concentrate. Anyway, there are certain songs that I think fit with my novels….
