A new era!

They say if you’re brave enough you can change your life in a year – yep, you can! And, I have! I’m not going to bore you with the details but 2025 has certainly been a year filled with change … and stress … and soul-searching and a huge dollop of bravery! And we’re only two-third of the way through. One gigantic change occurs tomorrow, Monday, 18th August – I return to the classroom on a part-time basis to teach English in a newly built college.

I know you’re probably scratching your head and asking why? But my new 2025 life requires me to have a regular, stable income, one which the publishing industry can’t promise me long term – so “a girl’s got to do, what a girl’s got to do!” and use the qualifications that the glorious Open University enabled me to gain. 

I’m excited to meet my new students in a week or so, eager for us to start our journey and hopeful that my passion for the written word can carry us all through towards 2026! Here’s to hoping and dreaming while teaching and writing!
