WHY I WRITE
Since I was very young, I knew that when I grew up I should be a writer. Although life got in the way at times and I tried to abandon the great idea I had in younger years of being a writer and author, I did so with a conscious awareness that I was somehow…
‘No Room At The Inn’ Insights of the First ‘Christmas Story…’

THE ‘GIFT’ OF CHRISTMAS MEMORIES
Through the reflection of my window on a fast moving train, I see in the distance dotted across the countryside bright and flickering lights, making a magical wonderland of an otherwise dark and damp Winter’s evening.
