Blog postYou always manage to make me cry, Patrick. I can feel my own heartbreak there as well as yours. Beautifully told.
Maxpower's Blog
My mother died 28 years ago. She was sixty. To be honest it was a devastating loss. We lost our father two years earlier through a long battle with cancer but Mam? Well she simply disappeared one night, or at least that’s how it felt. She had come through a brief enough medical battle which in itself was life threatening. She was on the way back out -
Blog postThere are flags flying in the village ready for Jublilee celebrations on the green at the weekend, and they remind me of the passing years and that I can remember back beyond our queen’s coronation when I was a child in Kettering.
I suppose my first memory of royalty was telling my young friend that the king had died. I’d have been five, and probably had little concept of what a king was, but I did know that it was an important event in peoples’ lives.
‘The king is dead. Long -
Blog postThere are times when it feels like this. In the past, I’ve given away my novels free. A lot of people pick up on the offer, and I suspect a lot of people never get around to reading them. An author hopes for reviews from those that read them, but why is it that the only people who leave reviews are those that hated it?
If I saw a free book on offer, my first port of call would be the blurb, and if that took my fancy, the ‘look inside’ on Amazon, where I can determine very quickly whet -

Can DCI Gerald Croft stop a crime wave before the media pick up the story and put him in the chief superintendent’s firing line?
An armed raid on a jewellers’ shop – deaths that might have been a suicide pact or murder – a teenage girl kidnapped.

Blog postPosted on October 20, 2017 by Rebecca Bryn

Back in the good old days, I suppose I’d have been about three and sitting in a little metal chair on the back of Mum’s sit-up-and-beg Raleigh, shopping was quite a different experience. We went to the corner shop, the greengrocer, or the butcher for most of our daily requirements. Daily, because domestic refrigeration was unheard of. Potatoes were weighed out and -
Blog postI’ve had a shadow at my side for most of the last sixty-odd years. It’s taken different shapes and sizes, but it has been a comfort, a non-judgemental inspiration, and an ever-cheerful devoted friend.
My present shadow has been my constant companion for the last fourteen years. She’s a small chocolate and tan collie-cross rescued from the streets of Caerphilly during a cold February – a poor skinny little thing with the sweetest nature you could wish for.
When I say constant, -

Blog postChapter One ‘Of all the pirates I’ve heard and seen
The basest and the bloodiest is Captain Green’
***
My Country men who do intend
on Pirrating to go,
Be sure what e’re ye may pretend
The certain end is wo,
I know’t to sad Experience .
The better may I tell,
I thought my self in sure defence,
But suddenly I fell.’
The Ballad of Captain Thomas Green 1705
New Forest, England 1697

Blog postIt’s 1705 and Scotland is on its knees. For years, the country’s Company of Scotland has been denied access to the profitable trade routes to the East Indies by the rival English East India Company. Piracy is rife across the ocean trade routes, the slave trade is at its height, England is keen to avoid … More The most ignominious act of treachery in Scottish history.

Blog postMarch is Women’s History Month, and as a writer of historical fiction – stories that feature strong women – I can’t let it pass unmentioned.
You might ask why women should have a month dedicated to their history; after all, everyone’s history is important if we’re to understand our present, but I shall attempt to give my take on it.
The more I have delved into history for my novels, the more I have begun to understand a woman’s role in the affairs of men. She is the glue that -
Blog postAs writers, we are encouraged not to use cliches, but these phrases started out somewhere in the dim and distant past and had a real meaning, so as a writer of historical fiction, I ask myself ‘was it a cliche at the time about which I am writing?’, and perhaps more importantly, will the reader view it as a cliche, despite it’s historical setting?
Take my latest novel, Revenge, presently out with beta readers. It’s set at the end of the 17th century, and much of it takes place on the -
Blog postI thought a comparison between pastel and watercolour/ink would be useful. Some subjects are more suited to one medium than another, though it’s down to personal taste. This one is pastel. The full demonstration I hope to include in my painting animals how-to book. Six demos done.

Blog postPastel on velour paper. Another possible for inclusion in a how-to book on animal portraits. Now to write up my notes. I’ve taken about a dozen photographs at various stages.
This is how it began!

Blog postI’ve been thinking about this for a while, but Covid-19 rather quashed my creativity, painting wise, though I have been writing a novel, my tenth. However, that published and feeling at a loose end, I decided to get out my watercolour paints and acrylic inks.
If this lion works out okay, I may build him into a book about painting animal portraits in ink and watercolour. Pets, farm animals, wildlife – there are a host of subjects.
Anyway, here are a few photographs of the proce -

Blog postA few more acrylic pours. These are some of the better abstract ones.

Blog postI’ve always loved drawing and painting. When I was little, my mother papered my bedroom walls with lining paper and let me draw on it. At school, I loved art lessons – not that I ever remember being taught how to paint or draw: it was more ‘Paint a tree’ and we were left to get on with it – big brushes and jars of poster paint and much daubing on cheap sheets of thin paper. I always contrived to get a horse into my painting somewhere even if it was looking in through a window, and I was as go
