Writing and reviews with an environmental, science fiction, and fantasy touch
Ceiling is today’s #writephoto prompt from KL Caley at New2Writing.com. My thoughts on this one scattered like autumn leaves, but then when I settled down I decided that it really was an opportunity to visit the artist in action. I
A cannon in an embrasure at the top of a castle wall. Several things sprang to mind for this week’s #writephoto from Kl Caley at New2Writing.com. I remembered my recent visit up the winding stair in the tower, and returned
A camel train… I saw this and thought of a Carruthers tale I did some years ago, but it’s now in my Greed and Retribution collection of Unexpected Twisty Tales. Click the title to buy it! [this post will autodestruct
A lovely blue door, but not just one. I am intrigued, even more than when we had the door in the tree. I wondered for a while whether the two were in some way connected. This of course is my
Big Ben is actually the bell inside the clocktower at the Palace of Westminster, but everyone refers to the tower as Big Ben. It is instantly recognisable, worldwide–like the Eiffel Tower, or Sydney Opera House. It’s the writephoto prompt from
Approach to the tower. It doesn’t seem long since we had another tower along an approach for #writephoto, but I’m sure KL Caley at New2writing.com knows what she’s doing! This one came to me over breakfast on Saturday. It’s nearly

Krismas is a time of celebration in Corsair, very similar to our Christmas. I was not going to use the wreath prompt from KL Caley at New2Writing.com this week. I started on one of my favourite Christmas pieces, an interview

Upsizing – although not so much inspired by the picture as the word from KL Caley at New2Writing.com. Last week I revisited a house I had really liked, but was sold before I’d sold mine. I just wanted to see
I chose cake over tractor for this week’s #writephoto. Is that cheating? I mean, we did a tractor story a couple of weeks back, so another tractor prompt was a bit much. Sorry KL Caley at new2writing.com. I hope you
Fog and Halloween. I can see the way KL Caley’s mind is working for the week’s #writephoto prompt at New2Writing.com. I have a series of features I’ve written in the past, featuring the guinea pigs as themselves, tangling with supernatural
