THIS WEEK'S PUNCH WOMAN IN ACTION!

I guess it was inevitable! 

"THE CONTRACT" FEATURED IN THE PUNCH

My article about Tanya R. Taylor’s upcoming release “The Contract” was published in The Punch today:

A CONTRACT LIKE NO OTHER!

If you picked up a Tribune in Nassau today, you may have noticed best-selling Bahamian author Tanya R. Taylor's photo top right on the front page and a bar at the top saying "WOMAN: BESTSELLING AUTHOR READY TO RELEASE 18TH NOVEL"! Then over a half page spread in The Tribune’s “Woman” section (back page) is my article titled “A ‘Contract’ like no other”.

I believe the upcoming release on September 4^th of Tanya R. Taylor’s new book “The Contract (Book 5 of ‘the Cornelius Saga’) - Murder in The Bahamas” will really be a phenomenal one! Click below to read the article.

ADVERTISING IN THE "ESTUARY" MAGAZINE

This is an advertisement I have placed in the September 2017 issue of the "Estuary" magazine, Topsham, Devon. Topsham is where my late mother lived for several decades, a lovely little town in England my family and I visited regularly.

I think the “Estuary” editorial team did a wonderful job with my ad.

I LOVE MY KINDLE!

Although I still need to have regular paperback or hard cover books that I can actually feel and smell, I do love reading books on my Kindle.

The Kindle is handy to read with while on the treadmill at the gym. Also, when lights are dim at night the bright screen is a great help. I also find it easier to read outside, even on the beach. Paperbacks are difficult to keep open in the wind and the print gets smudged with suntan lotion!

And then there are those long trips, when I might want to take a few books with me. All of them are condensed on my Kindle, instead of weighting down my luggage. 

For those of you who don’t have a Kindle, no problem. The free Kindle app can be downloaded from Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/kindle-dbs/fd/kcp for most major smart phones, tablets and computers.

SOLAR ECLIPSE IN THE BAHAMAS!

For the past few nights birds have been tweeting loudly, waking us up about 4 a.m.! They say creatures predict occurrences of nature, so it might be because we will be experiencing a solar eclipse here today in The Bahamas.

Last night the birds were silent!

PUNCH WOMAN IN ACTION INDIRA HOPKINS

This is my latest “Woman in Action” article that appears in “The Punch” on page 15 today about Indira Hopkins, who runs a successful messenger service, Reliable Messenger Service. I have had experience of Indira’s friendly, prompt and professional service. The Punch features an outstanding local woman in their “Woman in Action” column every Thursday, with my articles usually appearing every other Thursday.

"SHARKS IN THE RUNWAY" BY CAPTAIN PAUL J. HARDING

Diver, pilot and owner/operator of Safari Seaplanes, Captain Paul J. Harding’s book "Sharks in the Runway: A Seaplane Pilot's Fifty-Year Journey Through Bahamian Times!" looks like a fascinating read!

This reminds me of the time I worked for a construction engineer on downtown Bay Street, Nassau. Once a week I had to walk over to the British Colonial Hotel, pull up my trousers and wade out in the clear blue water to a seaplane that landed just offshore. The pilot flew in once a week to pick up the payroll for staff on Lee Stocking Island. It was my job to make sure I delivered the money to him on time!

JUSTINA WALLACE-WHITFIELD MAKES WAVES!

Women who lead active and fulfilling lives are always making changes and improvements in their careers and lifestyles! My “Woman In Action” article in The Punch on page 15 today tells of the onward progress in Justina Wallace-Whitfield’s life and that of her daughter Angelika who has now graduated and pursuing her own career.

CALLING ALL ANIMAL LOVERS!

For all of you animal lovers, there’s a little dog in my novel “Love at Sunset”! - Excerpt: “He took Snoopy for a quick walk in the wind and rain, made sure the dog had water and left a window slightly open, so his pet had enough air. The hurricane shutters would keep out any gusts of wind. Snoopy whimpered a little as Ian closed the doggy hatch and made preparations to leave. The dog lay in his basket, nose on paws, looking up at his master with worried eyes. His ears twitched at the increasing noise of the wind outside. ‘I’ll be back soon,’ Ian reassured his pet before he left."
