When she woke up, it was morning! She was lying on the sofa in the farmhouse with a blanket over her. “What happened?” she asked. “How did I get here?” Continue reading

“The Pumpkin Games” Part 1
With Christmas imminent, and knowing that all of you have a child (by definition … a fun person aged 4 to 104) inside you, here is Part 1 of a story which is a little out of season … but fun all the same. Continue reading
“A Monarch Butterfly”
I am going to unashamedly promote my “Just Thinking” book of poetic verse! To be totally honest (why not?), this was not how this Post started, but I was browsing through some old notes and came across a comment*** from a reader of “Just Thinking”. Continue reading
“Adrift”
I recently posted a delightful comment, from an email that I had received, about a piece in my book “Just Thinking” which had been selected as a classroom discussion piece. Continue reading
The experience of age?
It seems to me that possibly the most frustrating and soul destroying scenario would be to reach those senior years (I am already there!), and reflect back on those dreams that were never realized, and perhaps now cannot be.

Probably none of you are, however, aware of the issues surrounding the Greenwoods election. Continue reading
“A Fishy Negotiation” (Part II)
Much later that day, the man-servant was relaxing in his chair in the living room when Odessa, Jaxon, and Dewey walked in. All three of them stood in front of the man-servant, and then Odessa hit Dewey with a wing, and Jaxon gave him a gentle kick with one of his back legs. “Go for it.” he whispered to Dewey.

“A Fishy Negotiation” (Part I)
“A Fishy Negotiation” is one if the stories, for children of ages 4 to 104, in the book “The Odessa Chronicles”.
Odessa is a Barn Owl with an attitude, who befriended Jaxon (a magical Jackalope). The two of them met Dewey (a cat with all the usual cat characteristics based around a desire for a life of luxury), and the three of them moved into an empty farm.
Joshua Pebblestone bought his dream farm. His life was now going to be spent immersed in the peace and quiet of rural life, but then he found that he had three lodgers! Continue reading
