Articles

Welcome to my articles page. Here I shall be publishing non-fiction pieces on a variety of topics. I might write about my dogs, my work or my writing challenges. A book or TV programme may trigger a review. A news item could lead to an opinion piece or a researched article. A painting, animals, people or a childhood memory could inspire me. Anything goes! One thing that will be consistent is positivity. I intend my articles to have humour and look on the bright side, even if the subject matter is difficult. I hope you enjoy reading them and I would welcome any comments.
