AS if my life isn’t complicated enough, right now! I’ve left this one alone for well over a year because of the major complexities and the fact that I knew that I needed to learn a bit more about a lot more before I could even begin to make sense of it. As you can […]

I bought this book when it was newly published and loved…LOVED it. Grace McBride always wears knee-high riding boots whatever the weather. Why?

Excusez moi – WHY have I been given the Moriarty role? If you can “read between the lines” it is obvious that Moriarty is the DARK SIDE of Sherlock. They share exact same talents but one chose to do good, t’other chose to do bad. Actually. I’m more like Dr Watson. The Clueless Sidekick, methinks. […]
