The Lone Cyborg by Honey Phillips Mattie is perfectly happy on her isolated mining claim, thank you very much. She and her cybernetic canary Sylvester are doing just fine,…

    A voyage of discovery

    ByGreta 14 July 202127 October 2025

    Progress is being made on the search for the crimson lady. Some of you might remember the name was the scarlet lady not so long ago. That was before an astute English friend pointed out that Virgin very recently launched its first cruise ship, named… wait for it… the Scarlet Lady. (Thanks, Mike.) Here she…

    I’m busy #amwriting but I also talk about genre

    ByGreta 3 May 201527 October 2025

    The title says it all, folks. I’m writing up a storm – or trying to. Writing is just like any other pastime – cooking, hockey, netball, swimming, tatting. If you stop doing it, the skills atrophy. But I’m around 6k into what will be a longish short story, and it’s all coming back to me….
