I do hope all my readers have kept well during this last year.

Unfortunately I ended up with a number of problems. My right hip is giving me a considerable amount of pain and I am waiting for a replacement. Then my eyesight began to deteriorate rapidly and my optometrist decided I needed to have cataracts removed on both eyes. I had to wait over a year for the first appointment, but I am pleased to say that my left eye has now been operated on. I am now waiting for an appointment to have the cataract on my right eye removed. Once that has been done I can have some new reading glasses. I have to use a magnifying glass at present and this is not easy when trying to work on the computer, despite having invested in a 27" screen. One problem solved, only two to be rectified.

Despite these problems I was able to visit Elounda last September and see all my friends there. Mobility was difficult, but I did manage to have a quick swim in the sea each morning. Rather a struggle to get in and out, but I was determined. I am planning another visit later this year.

Somehow I managed to complete my latest book. and sent everything to my typesetter/publisher who was planning to retire on 31st December. This meant I was unable to write as many pages as I had planned originally. He agreed to work during January and I have just heard that I should receive the paper copies on 16th February. 
I would like to thank all my loyal readers who have supported me so well over the years. I hope I will be able to write another book during 2023 when my sight has finally been corrected and I will be able to see better.

I feel very lost without my fictional family.


Andrula and the house at Schisma are entirely figments of my imagination.
