Good? Moi aussi. The sun was shining here today, and as the day ended, we had an absolutely brilliant moonrise.

She’s visiting CC Humphreys, author of The Fetch and the accompanyingContinue reading “Because You Can Never Have …”

  …after a long day, with a substantial list as yet incomplete.  However, I stopped the rest to spend some time tonight speaking to winners of the SiWC 2010 writing contest over the phone. My favourite, FAVOURITE part of the job. The conference is coming next week and there is still so much to do…DarbyContinue reading “Sleepy…”

This world we live in. Marvel. I’m watching live-stream of the Chilean miner rescue as I type this. Footage of them underground, and the jubilation up above. Awe. Check this…   [via @DarrenBarefoot. No irony intended.] And Darby continues her tour apace — visiting Linda Grimes’ Reality, and is she cool? Man — she’s gotContinue reading “Whoa…..”
