Featured on Daughter's Blog!
I'm very pleased to be interviewed on daughter Victoria Gemmell's blog today where I've tried to answer the questions as fully as possible! It's almost a year since my collection of short stories, articles and poetry, with some of my own photos, was published so it was a good way to mention Words for all Seasons again as it's a celebration of the different types of writing I do. You can read the interview here . Rosemary
