Thanks to everyone who's reading Moon Over Brendle, and for saying such nice things about it. The book's plot came to me a dream. I woke up and started working on it that same day. I wanted to write about SF, and my love for the genre: "the endless possibilities of the impossible."

New review on the blog today for a chilling thriller that shows us the horrors a technological future might bring. More scary yet, is the idea that that future has already arrived.

#SixOnSaturday â Six things happening in my garden this week
Six on Saturday is a weekly meme originally hosted by The Propagator but now in the tender care of Jim at Garden Ruminations. My apologies that the rain I pleaded for last week came in the form of torrential (albeit brief) downpours or hailstones, accompanied at times by high winds. And here in Berkshire we've still had some really cold nights, although hopefully not for much longer.

W. P. Wilesâs (

#SixOnSaturday â Six things happening in my garden this week
Six on Saturday is a weekly meme originally hosted by The Propagator but now in the tender care of Jim at Garden Ruminations. Four more bags of second early potatoes have been planted - only two more to go. As I write this on Friday it's a lot cooler but we're yet to have any significant rain which means I'll have to water everything newly planted by hand, and that means a lot of work.

Six on Saturday is a weekly meme originally hosted by The Propagator but now in the tender care of Jim at Garden Ruminations. How cruel to be back to cold, wet and windy weather just as our gardens are rewarding us with spring flowers and blossom. Plans to plant my second early potatoes have been put on hold for the time being.

#SixOnSaturday â Six things happening in my garden this week
Six on Saturday is a weekly meme originally hosted by The Propagator but now in the tender care of Jim at Garden Ruminations. How refreshing to have a few days not only to do jobs in the garden but also to enjoy simply being out in it. And I've sown my first seeds of the year - squash, courgettes and tomatoes - currently on a sunny windowsill.
