Writing Update: Mid March 2021
At the end of last month’s update, I assured you that I’d keep you up to date with another update this month. Well here it is, but there is very little to update you on. I have had a month that has been tough, life is hard and I am struggling. I am swimming against …
A Taste of Home by Heidi Swain

Writing Update: Mid December 2020
