It’s been a while! I know, I know…I’ve been gone a very long time and you’ve probably forgotten who this is, but I’m back! There are various reasons why I went silent, which I won’t get into now, but I just wanted to say that I’m well, and I’ll try to be more active on …

Taj Mahal Stories
Taj Mahal Stories I had a conversation online with a writer friend about different types of stories and what it feels like to follow their trail. It got me thinking. As with most things in life, it’s never only one way. This is how it is for me. Some stories come gradually, are serene by …
NOT JUST WORDS…
NOT JUST WORDS… Life has taken me by storm recently – a creative storm. Quite out of the blue, over the summer, I started eyeing bits of driftwood. I’ve always loved rocks and have a huge collection of amazing stones I’ve gathered throughout the years, but although I love seeing strange pieces of washed-up driftwood, …
Fragrance of the Past
Fragrance of the Past Recently, I found myself walking around the streets of my hometown. I hadn’t been there for a while and this particular day I came face-to-face with something I had not gone looking for – my childhood. It was hot, humid, the sun beating down on my already sweating head, but there …
I’m Back!
I’m Back! Just a brief note to apologise for being absent from the website for almost half a year! (It seems like a very long time when I write it down like that, but in my mind it isn’t!) These last six months have been spent doing a lot of yoga, receiving lots of ideas from my muses, having …

An Interview with the Composer/Music Producer Bobby Blazoudakis
An Interview with the Composer/Music Producer Bobby Blazoudakis I have been very lucky, in that I have listened to everything Bobby Blazoudakis has composed and I can say without any hesitation, that his music rocks!!!

An Interview with Loretta Proctor
An Interview with Loretta Proctor I have had the honour and pleasure of not only reading (and loving) three of Loretta’s books – The Long Shadow, Dying Phoenix and The Crimson Bed – but also of meeting Loretta in person on one of her visits to Athens, and she is a truly warm and lovey person. And so, without further …
An Interview with Jeff Blackmer
An Interview with Jeff Blackmer I’ve been wanting to do this for a while now, and finally, the time has come! I will be posting a series of interviews, mostly from authors, but also from musicians, composers, artists, poets…and more! And, today, to kick it all off, I have the great honour to welcome the …
Erik Satie
Erik Satie I promised some time ago that I would write a little bit about Erik Satie (1866-1925), the French composer, (and one of the characters in my novel The Man Who Stole Satie), so here is that little something. My fascination with Satie’s music began many years ago, decades, in fact, when I was in …
