  • Snow… and a #freebook

    Winter has arrived in N.E. Switzerland. By the middle of last week, a sugar-coating of snow was covering our local Alpstein mountains, and I went for a tramp above St Gallen with a friend. Then yesterday (Saturday), we had the serious snow. 30cm plus fell on St Gallen, so the path we walked along will…

  • Cover Love – with Carmen Radtke #books

    I read once that the main purpose of a book cover is to attract the reader’s attention. Obviously, it should have something to do with the subject of the book too – you wouldn’t put an image of a vegetable garden on a book called How to Crochet, but the cover needn’t tell the story…

  • Christmas without Santa? #books

    It’s been a busy few weeks here in N.E. Switzerland – not long now until the new book comes out!

Because Santa…

  • Book news – and other things… #travel #books

    I didn’t keep the date of the day when I first saw my (pen) name in print. I couldn’t even tell you the year, now, but it was in the 1990s and it was a short story in The People’s Friend, the first of 50-60 stories and articles I wrote for them and a couple…

  • The Summer of ’23… #writing #travel #books

    It’s been a mixed one here – we’ve had everything from searing heat to days on end of wall-to-wall rain. We’re back in a searing heat phase now, with no rain in sight until the end of the coming week. Lake Constance is over half a metre lower than average for the time of year,…

  • The start of summer ’23

    It’s been a long time coming, but at long last we’ve had some lovely summery weather here in N.E. Switzerland, and I’ve been out and about. Last week started with a trip to Zürich Zoo, something I haven’t done for at least a decade. It’s a good zoo, with huge enclosures for the animals, but…

  • Cover Love – with Amanda James… #books #amreading

    I read once that the main purpose of a book cover is to attract the reader’s attention. Obviously, it should have something to do with the subject of the book too – you wouldn’t put an image of a vegetable garden on a book called How to Crochet, but the cover needn’t tell the story…
