Yesterday, I was awakened at 7 am by the bright loud 'caw' of a crow near my bedroom window. Alarmed, but groggy, I hopped out of bed, stumbled into the bathroom, and got ready for a full day of work at home. Excited about completing my latest art venture, I gathered my materials, set up the studio...

Great bird news this week! We've finally - after about four or five attempts and many miles covered - spotted a Great Grey Shrike on our trip to the New Forest yesterday, hurrah. Such a beautiful bird and a real pleasure to see. Especially as we'd just given up and were returning to the car when...

At last! Those two great influences in life have finally arrived at roughly the same time (as it were). I'm very happy to say that my gay erotic menage story, The Delaneys and Me, has been accepted for publication on 17 April by Amber Allure Press. It's the first menage story I've ever written and...

I am waiting for the early shift of American Goldfinches (I think that's what we call them) to clock in. Here they come, a crew in yellow coveralls. A stardust of shredded catkin starts to flutter to the ground. What a work ethic!
One brid is much brighter yellow than the others...it's the...

“Expect your every need to be met. Expect the answer to every problem and expect abundance on every level.” ~ Eileen Caddy
The past few days have been unusual ones for Raleigh NC – an uncharacteristic snow storm for the area, coupled with extremely low temperatures, has turned this southern city...

What is scary is when your bird feeder works two ways--as a feeder for small, seed eating birds and two, as a feeder for small bird-eating birds.
Yes, as I stared at the falcon outside my window the other day, I realized I was feeding up the food chain. Want a junco? Come on over. A chickadee...

I'm very happy to announce that my erotic GLBT short story, Give and Take now has a cover and a brand new web page on my site. You can find it, plus a brief extract from the beginning, here. It's due out from Amber Allure Press on 21 March, so I'm looking forward to that.
I'm also happy to say that...

Ah, the end of the holiday comes fast apace, alas - work is tomorrow (groan) and I can hardly believe it. Not sure where I put my work head and if it will ever really fit again, to be honest - oh how glorious retirement will be, I suspect ...
Anyway, hanging on to the last of the holiday hours for...

Happiness is elusive and intangible. Its a word that I have found at times quite replusive. For a lot of selfish acts are done in the name of one seeking "their Happiness".
What is the root of that word?. I could look it up but alas its not in me to do so now or really ever. Not sure how...

Mixed feelings today at the last gasp of 2009. I've been rather upset about yet another rejection of The Gifting, this time from an e-publisher with quite a high profile. Bummer, really. They loved the writing, but hated the multiple viewpoints. Sigh. If anyone out there is keeping count (apart...
