I have only one thing to say… Just let me sleep it off. You thought Christmas was bad – Now it’s New Year’s Eve and the humans in the house have completely lost it…

Do you see dogs and cats dressing up in 80’s style gruesomeness?
Case proven, I think you’d agree.
And – (huddle closer while I [...]

It’s a dog’s life -
No, seriously. Look at it from my point of view. What happens to humans at Christmas?
They go mad, that’s what.
You don’t believe me?
Just take a look at my haircut – What’s that about?
And if you needed further proof – What’s this?

Does my human look anything other than a complete berk in [...]

The shot cups warming on the back of the Aga are for mulled wine – Minimus’s new speciality – If you’re still standing after 2 of them, you have a stronger constitution than me, Gunga Din.
I realised I had finally gone mad with the food on Christmas day –
An endless stream of hot and cold [...]

Hope you are too.
Update on Betty and Holly:
It’s my stick. No, it’s mine!

And the new link on my website in January 2010 will be Help for Heroes.
Thank you all for your suggestions.

Just loving the heart-shaped diamonds either side of the solitaire on Wiggy’s ring and feeling sure Ra’id would buy one for Antonia.
You see – I told you alphas could be romantic – you just have to stick with it and believe.
The simplest gifts give me the warm fuzzies. Try this one from minimus…
I came [...]

Every heroine should have one!
We are celebrating the prospect of a second wedding in the family. Rob waited three weeks for Wiggy to be ‘good enough’ to receive the ring he bought for her –
Difficult women in this family? What do you mean?!
So now it’s all venues and dresses and flowers and…. No, we [...]

I was so thrilled by my foreign covers I almost missed this!
Thank you so much to Vicki from Sunderland in the North East of England for pointing out that Master of the Desert, the second book in my Al Maktabi sheikh duet is now available for pre-order.
I loved writing this book with wildcat Antonia meeting [...]

Anything goes!
Clearly, Betty thought I overdid things this year as she is not available for comment – I think you can see a small portion of her in the picture and that’s all. You can also see Wiggy giving the cross-country event some wellie! Such a calm, peaceful family I have. Not.
Here’s Holly coming to [...]

Yes. Finally cranking up for Christmas. Have you noticed how stockings are more emotive than the actual gift/s?
How do you like my new troll?
(Not much?) (But he’s magic) (You might know I’m a fable believer too)

And as for Betty…

Just get on with it – but don’t expect me to move my bed
Have a [...]

What’s the first thing you do when you buy your first house?
In this family it seems to be the case that you sign the papers and then head for the dog’s home.
A huge welcome to the newest addition to our adored family of pets, Holly.

Before you could say ‘Walkies!’ Wiggy had arranged a dog-walker, put [...]
