The Lion takes on the big girls

Thank you Hels Martin for alerting me to the lovely comments up on my piece in Lionheart Magazine issue three by Naomi on her blog. Seems that Lionheart is beginning to make a roar - it's standing very well up against Oh Comely magazine and Frankie Magazine nowadays.

Very nice to have some positive feedback every now and then. My new New Year's resolution is to share more words of encouragement.

LionHeart Magazine is One

And i'm in it!

Congratulations to Helen and her bundle of joy - the beautiful LionHeart magazine turned one last week! Hels as has done an amazing job creating such a high quality publication, from what I imagine, essentially comes from a little shed at the back of the garden. I finally managed to grab half an hour to sit down, curl up, and delve into the adventure packed issue, number three.

While my friends begin their adventures and settle down with their family, my only own bundle of joy is seeing my thoughts and words on paper – the print equivalent of my name in flashing lights. I wonder, does that giddy feeling ever disappear? It didn’t this time and I don’t think will the next. Or the time after that. When it does, I think its time to put down the pen and find the next escapade.

I always feel nervous hearing the inbox ping with the new LionHeart theme, and although the next issue won’t be out for a good few months, I can confirm the next one is damn good; abstract, but material, malleable but solid. Can’t wait to get my head down over the holidays and scribble away.

In the meantime, check out my piece in the adventure issue of the new LionHeart Magazine, available online here and in all good bookshops. 

Lion Heart Magazine

It’s arrived!

Very content, excited, but with a slightly nervous upside-down belly feeling, to see my piece included in Hel’s roaringly inspiring Lion Heart Magazine. 

From a fleck of an idea, illegible hand written sketches in a note pad, to the impending doom of the flashing curser on a white screen and miles of a blank white page to go. To this. My words. In print. On velvet smooth paper. Bound with other ideas, but released out into the arms of anyone who wishes to read it.
