If you have had a chance to read my 9th book

"Basil and the Sleepy Little Town"

I promised some fun extra tidbits about my books

Basil and the Film Shoot

was started from an Idea from Nathan Temby who joked that I needed a way to link all my written work... My two poetry books and my fun holiday romance are mentioned in my latest book... Linking everything I have written in one way or another...

The little elf in

Many of them I saw while I was with my urban hiking group.

Basil , Sylvia and Maurice have a long history together..

My Dear Friend Alex and I would act as messengers for our alter egos Basil and Sylvia the collection of letters I have held on to for 30 years is below. Maurice was added on to help Basil, while Rupert (who was behind the scenes) helped Sylvia.

Much love to Alex for letting me take Sylvia on all sorts of adventures
