I’ve been waiting for a long time to do this!
I have a totally badass friend who’s an amazing writer. I actually wanted to review her book- Colour Me In Cyanide & Cherries – as I promised her I would when I purchased a copy a wee bit ago. However, there are no words that can do this collection of writings justice, and I would feel stupid trying to.
You can click here if you’d like to check it out or pick up a copy, and I can’t recommend it enough; makes for excellent anytime-of-day-or-night reading.
Here’s a partial sample and one of my personal favourite’s, “Nine of Hearts”:
She’s a busy gal and in the process of publishing her second magazine (more on that later), so if you’d like to support her, I won’t insult her body of work by throwing up a donation tab, but I will encourage one and all to grab a copy of this most excellent (and complete) collection of poems, prose, and musings. Take my word for it: It is fantastic .
Thank you for any and all support! xx

Girls, if you’re seeing this, don’t wear make-up. I am FIFTY TWO years old, going on 25. 😁
But seriously, just don’t! If you start with that stuff, it’ll rob your older self of your beauty.
You heard it here!
