Brief Author Bio:

I don't read my Bible as much as I think I should, being a Christian and all - it is a perpetual thing from which to procrastinate! I frequently leave my mobile somewhere I can't hear it, and usually it's on silent anyway. I hate checking voicemail. Facebook has become quite an annoyance. I've met Michael Shanks - he's so funny and wonderful! - and I have his autograph! Christmas is my favourite time of year - all those carols! Sometimes I can be very fussy about grammar and punctuation, and sometimes I really don't care - those times are becoming increasingly rare.

I'm really looking forward to writing a first draft of a novel in a month - and am trying to prevent myself from brainstorming too much in the meantime - I want it to be a real November thing. Working on submissions for literary journals and working on my novel already underway are good ways to pre-occupy my imagination. Which reminds me of a quote I discovered once, and quite like: 'Day by day, you have to give the work before you all the best stuff you have, not saving up for later projects. If you give freely, there will always be more.' ~ Anne Lamott.
