If you enjoyed your own display of fireworks this November, the chances are you lit your rockets with a match. There is far more to this humble piece of wood than meets the eye and the history behind this once essential item is fascinating and part of the story behind Rowena Kinread’s latest novel. Based […]
It is incredible how quickly September seems to be slipping away from us! October will soon be upon us and with it Halloween! In readiness for the month of spooks, spectres and witches it is the perfect time of year for a chat with Jules Langton about the first two parts of her witchy trilogy!

We are having some pretty erratic weather here in the UK at the moment. Spring sometimes feels like it has turned into summer, but then we are plunged into what feels like winter again with torrential rain and thunderstorms. Nature can certainly throw a lot at us at times. It can also have an effect […]
