The Immortal, The Poor Laws & Bloody Battle by T E Hodden
Be very quiet, and watch very carefully, what you are about to see probably didn’t happen. It was probably a local myth, a tall tale that has grown with the telling, but this is the version of history that the story-teller in me chooses to believer. Things were shaky for a while. He bounced out … Continue reading The Immortal, The Poor Laws & Bloody Battle by T E Hodden

In hindsight, I can see how playing a trick on my sister who was home alone, on Halloween, may not have … Continue reading Halloween Then And Now

During the summer of 2014, I had an idea to write a private detective novel. I outlined the main character, a female narrator with a wacky sense of humour who lived and worked from a houseboat.
