Chapter 2 of The Case of the Blue Mask goes live At Fiction Express today. It features an incident inspired by something that happened to me on the set of The Golden Voyage of Sinbad. Eons later I met the director at a book signing. He remembered the incident. "We had to reshoot," he said.

Imagine all the People
When I write, fiction, my main aim is to create characters that stay with the reader long after they’ve finished the book.

The conservatory was one of the things that drew me to my new house. While my new kitchen was being installed, it was a storeroom. Now it has a wooden floor & seating. I’m planning to replace the blinds with curtains made out of cotton shawls I bought in Egypt. What do you all think?

Spent a couple of days chilling out in Leeds before I tackle the second edit of my new historical fiction. Vowed not to buy anything vintage, then stumbled across this in an open air market that sells...

Sitting in silence with my uncle
My childhood hero was my uncle the sculptor Edward Pirotta whose work is currently the subject of a major exhibition at the National Museum of Art in Malta.

Managed to nab a much-needed day out before the storms hit over the weekend. Beautiful Beverley. If the minster looks familiar, it’s because it’s often used as a stan in for Westminster Abbey in films.

Sorry I haven’t been on here much this last couple of weeks. I’ve been travelling for work, and also getting ready for a big event happening pretty soon. Meanwhile, here’s some pics of my lovely munchkin.
