A Little About You………. I grew up in Virginia on the east coast of the United States. I’m the youngest of three daughters and lived in small towns and on farms. I spent a lot of time in nature and around animals. Books were how I explored the larger world. Reading and writing have always been a big part of my life. I started my working life as a disc
A Little About You………. I am Helen Shaul (nee Heyworth), born in 1962 in Formby, Merseyside, U.K. After leaving school at sixteen, I worked for Barclays Bank for the next twenty-four years; during this time I continued my education at night school. In 1992, I completed a degree in Human Resources, enabling my career within the bank to follow naturally in that direction. In 1998 I moved to Cheshire, where
In my last hockey post, I made reference to the fortnightly mixed hockey that I’m so privileged to take part in. Yesterday, in the sweltering heat (I hate playing hockey in the heat……give me the freezing cold and pouring rain any day. In fact the reason I love winter so much, is not because of my birthday and Christmas being in the same month….it’s because I associate it with HOCKEY!)

Getting up before 7am on a Sunday morning. Whose stupid idea was that? Mine actually, and the rest of the family went along with it, mainly due to my dislike of getting stuck in traffic. That and the fact that if you have children, or if they’re anything like mine, then generally they’re up early anyway, so you might as well go out early, miss all the traffic and have a great time. So
It wasn’t long before dragons started to work together. At first it was for personal gain. As the leader of a gang, you could sit back and watch your minions do all the work, while you quite literally reaped the rewards. The leaders, however, always had one eye over their shoulder, for there was always another dragon looking to place himself in the ‘hot seat’. Fear, treachery and assassination were
Weather rubbish, but so what?! I set off this morning with my two kids in tow, walking up to the Astroturf pitch at Salisbury hockey club. In the dull light of day, the wind, and the occasional shower, I felt less than enamoured, a little like my youngest daughter, who really wasn’t fussed about the fifteen minute walk. “Why aren’t we taking the car daddy?” she asked, barely seconds after
King Of The City One of the best things about writing, and blogging in particular, is the ability to share something amazing, to paint a scene that’s special to you. Because in real life, you don’t always have the time or the right level of connection, to do the job justice. I’d like to share with you my experience of a recent car boot sale. I had to get up

Bentwhistle the Dragon is soon to return in a new adventure, the second in the series: A Chilling Revelation. Read on for an exclusive sneak preview…… Flash shook some of the water from his shivering, frozen body, as his eyes adjusted to the light in the cavern. Rubbing his hands and legs together on the cold floor, he took the biggest breath he could, now that he wasn’t restricted by
