Circles Beyond Time – On Edge

Posted on October 13, 2020 by Sue Vincent

Posted on October 8, 2020 by Sue Vincent

Writing without the other hand to steady him was hard, but the other was clamped on his thigh, holding back the flow of blood. The words on the vellum were like the wanderings of a dying bird… he smiled at … Continue reading →

Posted on October 7, 2020 by Sue Vincent

Oh give me a life on the open road! With my dog and a caravan.. Just my books, paint and turps and a canvas.. And skin with a leathery tan. Oh find me a place on a mountain! Where the … Continue reading →

Posted on October 2, 2020 by Sue Vincent
