As a writer I’m often asked if I’m also a reader. The answer is a resounding, YES!! Print or ebook, I don’t mind.

Lightbulb moments

One of the joys of the time that I spend when I’m not writing is that I work in education. To be a part of those ‘lightbulb’ moments – the ones when a student has been struggling with a concept and suddenly the fog lifts and they understand it – those lightbulb moments are just … Read more
