A Dirty Room

In response to my mother's constant nagging (well, not constant) about the state of my room, I have had a Spring clean!

But here is a pic I love...

Rosie Rushton Review

Image
My love of Jane Austen has risen to new heights with this collection of modernised teenage adaptations of the beloved novels by author Rosie Rushton. From Whatever Love Is (Mansfield Park) to firm favourites Summer of Secrets (Northanger Abbey) and Love, Lies and Lizzie (Pride and Prejudice), Rushton has definitely set the bar on how to write a romantic comedy with depth, passion and hormonal drama! So, If I was talking about Austen, I'd start with publishing order. However, as these are adaptations, I'm going to start with my lowest rated. This review contains spoilers. *** Secret Schemes and Daring Dreams *** An adaptation of Emma, this charming novel brings to the fore all the sentimentality and sarcastic dry wit that the original did. Like the original, Emma Woodhouse is a young, caring woman who is well aware of her luck, good fortune and status - and also well determined to ensure she passes that wealth on by pairing her friends. When her best friend George Knightley, nee...

A Taste of Dark...

Here is a little taste of WITCH DARK, my work in progress...   Not even the full moon or the scattered stars could pierce the blackness of the dense woodland and the heavy mists that settled in around it. The darkness was overwhelming. Even the animal s, accustomed to nature’s changing moods, seemed to fear the very source of these shadows.

Animals, already unnerved, cowered, hiding in their dens. A young man, hooded and cloaked, emerged from the undergrowth and stopped to look at his surroundings. He was displeased. This was not the path he should have been taking and he was late; it was nearing midnight. A frustrated breath passed his lips and he gazed up at the sky, searching for the moon. Even if he couldn’t see it, he knew it was full.  It was time.  Ignoring the leaves and dirt that had covered his...

It’s nearly Christmas!

Image
It’s true, Christmas is around the corner, only a few days away! I’m sure those of you who celebrate the occasion have been busy wrapping and bagging those well-thought out gifts and demonstrations of devotion! Even when the tape refuses to get in line and the bows refuse to stick! Christmas is a time for fun and family, at least it is for me be mine... Christmas is also a time to take stock of our lives and the pleasures within it. Take a look at what we’ve done over the year, and see how we might improve upon anything in the next. I for one, spend far too much money (don’t we all?)! But Christmas is also a time for pleasure. It’s a period where we can celebrate our lives, our hobbies and our homes; a time where we can take a break from work and decompress. To that end, I have a present for you all! During the Christmas period, my books will be available for free to download.  Wishing you all a happy Christmas, a carefree winter break and a fortune filled 2019! Terri x
