Poetry on the Beach 2019
In celebration for National Poetry Day the Orewa Writers Group, a group I joined earlier this year, held its second annual Poetry on the Beach day. It is a day where you go along, make a donation and then get to write your poem on the sand. For me it was the first time I…
Guess who is back!
Oh wow nearly a year since my last post. One could have wondered if I had dropped of the face of the earth or something. The answer is … no. Over the past year there has been SO much going on and I am not just saying that. Since I last posted I completed my…
“Free Churro”
This page started out as a place to get out my creative side, and still now I find myself struggling to put something out there. I have provided insight to some of my concepts and shared a couple of anecdotes of what I have been up to, but still I feel that I have not…
And I am back after that short break!
Wow its been a while since I posted. The past two weeks have been hectic with family stuff and events. Last week I ran another 1/2 Marathon, which on the surface I didn’t feel I did too well in, however on review I actually did better than previous attempts. The problems were the beach section,…

Time for another Interest
Merry Met All! So this week I thought I would take a break from talking about Aerolia and talk about another interest of mine, running. I am by no means a massive distance runner. The furthest that I run is around 21km, this is in the form of a half marathon. Running is something that…
World building
So as promised last week, I would like to introduce you to the initial world in which the Witchkin Chronicles are set. The kingdoms of Aerolia. A number of keen eyed readers among you might notice that the names of the kingdoms that make up Aerolia are, in fact, Gaelic. In full honesty this is…
Making up for lost time
So posting an update last week just didn’t happen due to family commitments. However the update that I would have posted last week remains true for this week. I have an ideas journal that I carry around all the time at work. When ever inspiration strikes me I note down some ideas into the book….
