A Different Blue - TOP TEN MOMENTS - Written by Amy Harmon, Published March, 2013


  • Number 10 
''I grew up - found out what I wanted to do with my life. Sometimes the things we want to be rescued from can save us. ''
  •  Number 9 
  ''Why don't you focus on where you're going and less on where you come from? Why don't you focus more on what makes you brilliant and less on what you angry? ''

  • Number 8 
    ''"A handkerchief?! What are you, eighty-five?"

  • Number 7
''Suddenly, action was required. The cameras were rolling, and I didn't know my lines, I was overcome by stage fright, of the strangers in the audience, of the scenes I hadn't studied and couldn't possibly prepare for. And above all, I didn't want Wilson to see me in the spotlight once more, the light unflattering, the storyline tragic, violent and depressing. ''

  • Number 6
''I felt her sag against me, and then she was clinging to me desperately, sobbing, grieving for a man she had mistreated, for a daughter she had failed and a granddaughter she had lost. ''

  • Number 5
''I lay in stunned surprise, waiting for him to loosen his grip, waiting for his hands to touch, for his body to move, but his arms stayed locked around me, his body remained still. And there, in the circle of his arms, held so fiercely that there was no room to doubt him or fear his loss, I slept.''

  • Number 4
'' Pride & Prejudice?'' ''How did you know?'' he smiled.
''I have a thing for Mr. Darcy. ''

  • JOINT Number 3
''I was spent without compromise, sated without sacrifice, completely and totally head-over-heals in love. And it was delicious. ''

''Sometimes I feel like I have a huge, gaping hole from my chin to my waist, wide open negative space that life has just carved away. ''
  • Number 2
''You were emotionally rocked in Reno, just like I was in London, and you needed me, but you didn't need me that way. Someday, hopefully bloody soon - because I will combust if I ever have to spend a night like that again - you will want me because you love me, not because you're lost, not because you're desperate, not because you're afraid. And that's the goal.''

  • NUMBER 1


''Once upon a time there was a little bird who was placed in a 

nest. Wanted. Cherished. Unafraid, because she knew she was a

hawk, a beautiful bird, worthy of awe, deserving of love. . . ''

Book Review: The GUESTBOOK by HOLLY MARTIN

   The Guestbook by Holly Martin Publisher:  Carina UK Release Date:  14th February 2014 Rating:  4* FORMAT:   Kindl e Welcome to Willow Cottage – throw open the shutters, let in the sea breeze and make yourself completely at home. Oh, and please do leave a comment in the Guestbook! As landlady of Willow Cottage, the young widow Annie Butterworth is always on hand with tea, sympathy or strong Norfolk cider – whatever her colourful array of guests require.

This includes Annie herself – especially now celebrity crime writer Oliver Black, is back in town. He might grace the covers of gossip magazines with a different glamorous supermodel draped on his arm every week, but to Annie, he’s always just been Olly, the man who Annie shared her first kiss with. ...

Guest Post by Jack Croxall - Pre-Halloween Special!

Time for another Special Guest Post,  Huzza!   Today's Guest Post will be from Nottingham-based Author Jack Croxal l! His new best-selling   short story X is now available for purchase from Amazon UK & Amazon US.  Halloween Guest blog – Jack Croxall I love Halloween. Not just because of the fancy dress and mischievous hijinks, but because of all the spooky stories that rear their creepy heads to give us goose bumps, shudders and, most importantly, that little something extra to think about. A gory supernatural horror is all well and good, but I find a spooky tale is all the more unsettling if it is driven by something real; by a theme or character we can relate to, or even by a situation we recognise from real life. Throughout the beginning of this year, I’d been mulling a horror story over in my mind constantly. I had a character, a claustrophobic setting and an unforgiving menace, but no actual theme – no real point to the story. Luckily thoug...
