When life was simpler ….

Posted on by Linn

When I was twelve I doodled ‘Poetry is the epitaph of life’ in the margin of my English book. I stumbled across this recently and it made me realise how youth and inexperience actually allowed me to bare my soul in words, with no sense of holding back for fear of judgement. If only it was as easy as that as we grow older! This was a poem I wrote when I was fourteen years old –

Minutes of Uncertainty

The cold, grey morning
unwraps itself around my bed,
sliding over my dream and casting
that especially cruel Monday morning death
over my contented peace.

The time rolls on,
there is a destiny waiting,
a world unfulfilled,
lives to be led.

Beyond this, somewhere, is an end
where no tomorrow and no today survive,
where time hovers
and one hour becomes half an eternity,
the rest of our lives the missing half.

The joys of writing

I’ve come to realise that writing is a very solitary pursuit, but even though I’m a people person I suddenly find that I’ve never been happier.  I spend my days in my own little world, writing about people who have become very real to me.  I’ve been writing novels for eighteen months now and can’t seem to stem the flow.  Too many ideas, too little time.  I think I need a visit to a deserted beach ….

Interesting thoughts & books to make you think, laugh and fall in love …

The mind is a complex thing, so why are we surprised that people can connect on both sides of life?  My novels are romantic fiction – life, love and beyond … but it’s ALWAYS about the romance!

Currently available:

 

Many of the psychic incidents in my fiction novels are based upon my own real-life experiences.  My debut novel Touched By The Light (an amusing and uplifting romantic story that twists and turns, making the reader think about life after death) was published in February 2011 – available in hardback only at this time.   My  personal journey – from being a sceptic to becoming a believer in ‘life after death’ – is featured in Being A Sceptic Is Oh So Easy which is available as an e-book & in paperback. The Quintessential Gemini has been described as ‘chick lit’ without the fluff! Published by Sapphire Star Publiishing, it is available as an e-book & in paperback.

All of my novels are written from the viewpoints of more than one character and I enjoy telling the story through the eyes of both the female and male characters…

It took me a long time, and many unexplained incidents, to finally accept that our time on earth is merely to allow us to learn the lessons required to allow our spirits to develop.  What I hadn’t expected was that it would also mark the start of the next stage of my journey.  A journey that would influence my writing, as my personal experiences and understanding grows.  It would also provide a humorous and intruiging addition to my romantic stories.  Let the fun begin!

I live in Arlingham, Gloucestershire in the UK, on the edge of the River Severn with my lovely husband and cat with ‘attitude’ Tiggs.  I’ve been writing novels since 2009.

 So please join me and share my journey, and if you want to share your own experiences with me, then I would be delighted and honoured to hear from you.

Best wishes, Linn

Have you ever wondered ‘where do we go in our dreams?’

Monday 13 December 2010 and day one of the start of my website.  Ironically the number 13 has always been very lucky for me, particularly Friday the 13th!  Strange how something that is lucky for one person can prove to be incredibly unlucky for another.  Well, whether it’s fate or a helping hand from those on the other side, you move forward in life grabbing what opportunities and help come your way (remembering to say a big thank you to those who have been there for you) …….
