Letters from France?
Sitting here today working on part of my Inspector Flaange detective series and I suddenly remembered the term ‘French Letter’ as a euphemism for a condom. So I wondered why is it ‘French Letter’?

I haven’t posted for a while. I kept my focus on completing another task. When I have an idea for a book I sit with an old fashioned writing pad and a fountain pen, and I let the ideas flow. Sometimes when I look back I can’t read my notes as I was writing soContinue reading “Catching up”

We have been friends for almost 8 years now. She is planning 6 new exhibitions this year,Continue reading “Just do it!”
