http://carolhedges.blogspot.com/2015/05/teething-troubles-adventures-of-l-plate.html
I write. I sleep. I try to resist cake. Monday, 18 May 2015. Teething Troubles (Adventures of L-Plate Gran). It is amazing how one forgets so many things about bringing up a small child. I know You must be mad. Produced teeth at some time. She seems to have a full set now, as far as I am aware. I am sure it was horrendous for all concerned, but somehow I forgot HOW horrendous. Until now. Cuddles are rejected out of hand. Her eyes say: 'make it go away' . Her voice cries: 'I HURT. All I can do is lie on t...

Carol Hedges: January 2015
http://carolhedges.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
I write. I sleep. I try to resist cake. Saturday, 31 January 2015. So here we are, almost the end of January, and I have probably spent my heating allowance at least 20 time over. The price of oil is supposed to be lower than at any time over the past few years, yet I am spending every penny I earn on keeping warm enough to earn the money to spend on keeping warm. Paradoxical world. In other words, writing is easy and you, interested interlocutor, could easily do it too. Ain't that the truth! I don't kno...

Carol Hedges: March 2015
http://carolhedges.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
I write. I sleep. I try to resist cake. Monday, 30 March 2015. The Adventures of L-Plate Gran: Intimations of Mortality. There is nothing like taking charge of a small baby to remind you that you are not immortal. From the moment Little G. Was placed in my inadequate care by You must be mad. I have had a cold, accompanied by a cough, occasionally joined by a sore throat and a hoarse voice. Apparently whatever Little G. Develops her own immunity, and the weather becomes warmer and drier, we will be better...

Carol Hedges: May 2015
http://carolhedges.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
I write. I sleep. I try to resist cake. Saturday, 30 May 2015. Victorian Values: Alive and Well. Presumably these house owners must've been listening to Kevin McLeod (Grand Design bloke) who says if we want to meet the growing need for cheap 'affordable housing', we should model ourselves on the Victorian builders, who leased land and threw up street after street of houses at lightening speed. News for you, Kevin: we're already there. My two books Diamonds and Dust. And Honour and Obey. At the same time,...

Carol Hedges: Buy a 5 Star Amazon Review? No Problem!
http://carolhedges.blogspot.com/2015/05/buy-5-star-amazon-review-no-problem.html
I write. I sleep. I try to resist cake. Saturday, 9 May 2015. Buy a 5 Star Amazon Review? On Tuesday this week I was contacted by a friend on Twitter who told me that one of these 'fake' review sites had actually had the gall to copy and paste his review of my book Diamonds and Dust. I decided to re-post this, just in case some of you aren't aware that this scam goes on:. It makes a mockery of Amazon's review feature, where any lay person can leave a review of something they have read. Enough has bee...

Carol Hedges: The Sound of Silence (Adventures of L-Plate Gran)
http://carolhedges.blogspot.com/2015/04/the-sound-of-silence-adventures-of-l.html
I write. I sleep. I try to resist cake. Monday, 20 April 2015. The Sound of Silence (Adventures of L-Plate Gran). Before I took charge of Little G. Silence was a rare treat, an absence of noise that was like a welcome oasis to be savoured and enjoyed. I'd ease into the rare moments, feeling my shoulders untense, my breathing slowing. However, now that I have Little G. Silence is something I dread. Silence means that I have failed in my duties and reinforces my theory that You must be mad. Into my dodgy a...

Carol Hedges: September 2014
http://carolhedges.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
I write. I sleep. I try to resist cake. Friday, 26 September 2014. As you probably all know, Diamonds&Dust. Which was rejected out of hand by my ex-agent as ' not remotely publishable' and subsequently went on not only to be published, but to be up for the CWA Historical Dagger, the Walter Scott Prize and the Folio Society Prize, is now developing offspring. Thus the sequel, Honour&Obey. There are those writers who regard a series as a bit of a ' cop-out' : after all, you've got all your characters alrea...
