A year of change. That is for certain. I’m not sure it’s all going to be for the good. Nor that all will bring happiness. But after last year, I’ve learned that happiness is in the small things. Like a lonely cat, finding friendship with a dog. Seeing my Mum and Dad at Christmas. Spending […]

Oh Christmas Tree
posted by MoreThanACat
This is the first year in 4 that we’ve been to my parents. Covid kept us away last year, OH beung a retail pixie account for the others. Being home is bittersweet. My parents are in their twilight years. Christmasses yet to come, as a family unit, are likely to be counted in years not […]

Marina Bird Mystery
posted by MoreThanACat
It’s hotting up on the marina. Bill Hates Youuu is back and I remain none the wiser as to what the cause of Bill’s vitriol is, though, I do have two theories. The pair of cuckoos seem to have had a fight. There is a lot of Cuck but no Coo. Perhaps Coo is Bill? […]
After Banana
posted by MoreThanACat
I will admit its been a struggle to find something to write about in the last week or so. Where could I go after Google and the banana bread? I couldn’t, could I? I threw myself into my writing. Got my Bluetooth headphones to work and listened to “Shady Solicitor” just one more time – […]
The unbearable Slowness of Sunday
posted by MoreThanACat
Is the word for today. The Internet, computer, brain; all fail to meet expectation. My spyware scan is the worst. That’s beyond slow. Bordering on painful. Not even at the half way mark. A marathon walker would be quicker. Not sure how long it’s going to take. Still, what else is there to do? I […]

The Best Thing Since Sliced Bread 27/01
posted by MoreThanACat
For my cats, my cardigan is the best thing since sliced bread. It provides comfort from the harshness of the sofa, a place to rest a nose and forget the troubles of a busy life. For me, the camera in my phone is the best thing since sliced bread, for allowing me instant gratification of […]

The best bit about me? According to the cat. My lap.

A Line In The Sand
One of my characters in Widowhood of Spiders (book 2 of Symington’s adventures) is angry. So angry in fact he is in danger of breaking the unwritten code of the criminal world: twice. Not only is he in the process of killing a policeman; he is doing it in front of witnesses – not bound […]
Engineering Rows
This week I’ve been doing a lot of thinking rather than a lot of writing. Being stuck in traffic is like that. And I’ve been thinking about my victim. Well one of them. A chap by the name of Sir Martin Hamblebee. In my head he’s a nasty piece of work. A bully. A pompous […]
5 Questions for Authors: Ann Wuehler
Until recently, all I knew about Ann was that she wrote for the same publisher as I do (KGHH), and lives in the same state as my cousin (Oregon). So I asked her to give me a bit of a biography, which was a good thing because her writing credentials are epic. Make me feel […]
