Think Good Things And You Will Always Look Lovely
Or, Catch Up Chats in Cheltenham. In which Beth returns to this beautiful town to visit a friend. For all of you dedicated fans, and I know you’re out there…somewhere, you may remember that I went to the Cheltenham Literature Festival a couple of years ago where I duly fangirled over my favourite author, Patrick […]
Poetry Corner | Poem #5: Roots and Stars
I’ve got to keep growing, upwards and downwards, to get to where I want to be. Just watch.
Review: The Maze Runner Trilogy, James Dashner
In which I describe my tumultuous relationship with this series, my love of the YA genre and the problem with the third book.
Poetry Corner | Poem #4
Because even when I’m somewhere I love, I can’t stop thinking about somewhere else. That’s the blessing and the curse of feeling at home everywhere and nowhere.
Ah Good The Sea
On my way back to the UK a couple of weeks ago, I had the joy of coming in on the ferry from Dunkirk to Dover and shouting quite loudly to everybody, “It’s the white cliffs of Dover! I see the white cliffs, I’m home!” Excitement and patriotism aside, there is something really beautiful and […]

Some Call It Being Unemployed. I Call It Being A Writer.
Just a little public service announcement here to report a couple of life updates: namely that I’m back in the UK, that I’ve finished with my au pair job in Germany, and that I’ve decided now to take some time off to focus on my book and my writing. Yep, this is really happening. I have […]
The Truth About the Kindle
If you would like to see my previous long rant about the Kindle, please click here. Otherwise, please just accept that I am a hypocrite and that things have changed, ok? A year or two ago I wouldn’t have dreamed of ever getting a Kindle. To me there was nothing better than the sight of […]
Falling in Love with Prague
So I think this one will be short on words, but long in pictures. My trip to Prague was perhaps the least planned and organised one yet, and I can’t pretend that I wasn’t a little stressed out just before (“What currency do they even have in the Czech Republic?!”). Honestly, however, I fell in […]
