In Part 4 of the Mythical Menagerie series, Ambrose is up against the clock as he races to stop something bad from happening on the next Blood Moon. Now, I picked a blood moon because it’s a memorable event – it’s not every day that you see a red moon hanging in the sky –…

Research Discovery: Scorpion Bombs
While editing Part 4 of the Mythical Menagerie series, I found myself googling for “Roman era projectile missile gas bombs”. Okay wait, I may just have every country scouring the Internet for keywords hot on my tail right now, but bear with me. There’s a scene where Ambrose is attacked with a hand grenade-like bomb…
Back From the Balkans
It’s been just over a week since we’ve returned from our three-week campervanning trip through the Balkans. Technically I shouldn’t be calling it a Balkans trips anymore, since we only travelled through two of the four countries we planned to visit – Slovenia and Croatia. But wow, did those two deliver! I am in love…

Tears for Notre Dame
Imagine my distress when I logged into social media late night on 15 April, only to be confronted by a slew of images of the Notre Dame on fire. I’m not embarrassed to say that I was in tears. I spent the rest of the evening in a shell-shocked state, watching footage of the fire…
Tangled’s Problematic Mother-Daughter Relationship
Disney’s 2010 animated film, Tangled, is one of my favourite movies ever. I can easily watch it every weekend. I love Rapunzel and can identify with her on so many levels. I think Flynn Rider is a hottie, especially when he forgets about smouldering and shows his more sensitive side. Plus Pascal and Maximus are…
