So, what to chat about on a new blog? In this instance writing... My favourite subject and something of a curse perhaps.

Is it me are writers often driven people who can't help themselves? Rarely are authors looking for fame - fortune perhaps - but not fame. We are just goaded by the people, scenes and plots that unravel inside our minds and if we don't do something with them, we will go mad. Or at least that's how it feels.

At the moment, I'm in the process of finishing book 4…
