Bella and Arthur went out on their own for a bit this afternoon. Had a good rummage round the back of the shed (hope they didn’t disturb Edwig The Hedgehog), nipped over the fence; had a good play in next…
Continue readingI was on fire last night! In excess of 1000 words written, and smashed through the six figure mark – I have just started work on the penultimate chapter. Plus, I’ve just discovered another important detail as to how it…
Continue reading“And it’s down to me,” Helen looks up, her eyes bright and blue. She is firm and decided, “I have to finish what I started.” 100,146 / 100,000(100.1%) Okay, well I did always say that the hundred thousand thing was…
Continue reading“I know that you say you are Gunnlaugr,” answers Hanna, equally determined, “And I know that Gunnlaugr is simply a corruption of Gangleri. Gangleri the walk-weary?” Gunnlaugr laughs off Hanna’s words. He gathers his companions together and takes a step…
