Elsbeth's safe and secure life is about to unravel rapidly. Her partner, James, has kept many secrets from her, and she is about to discover how bad they are as she deals with James' sudden death.

Memories of her happy and loving life will haunt and confuse her, threatening to tip her over the edge, especially when she learns James' death was not an accident.

Elsbeth will travel between the past and present, lies and deceit cutting through her like shards of glass. Her life twists and turns like a rollercoaster. For Elsbeth, this heart-breaking journey will bring her closer to her family and make her filter through her friendships as she knocks down walls and rebuilds her life.

My New News...

At last, my first novel is almost ready for purchase. What a fantastic end to yesterday; my proof copy arrived just as I was stepping out of the shower. Naturally, a small glass of bubbles was in order.

SO... stay tuned for more updates on my debut novel 'Face Value'. Launch date: 31 Aug.

Elven Glass will be supporting its promotion, and signed copies will be available, along with direct purchases from Amazon and Kindle.

As a thank you for helping to launch my book E.G. will be offering a 10% discount on glassware when you buy the book. More details to follow.

What a great start to the day. It's been a while since we were last out on the bikes, my wee legs are feeling it now. It was lovely to watch the mist and cloud disappear, it looks like a lovely hot day ahead.

The calm before the pending storm. After a busy day at the workbench, sipping chilled wine and enjoying the calm, warm evening. Butterflies float all around the birds at the feeder, and the gentle lull of music in the background sets the ambience for our tranquil evening dining.

The colours grow stronger before our eyes, intensifying with the magic of nature. A subtle breeze like a lover's kiss floats in the air with a soft and gentle warmth of summer, her energy full and alive, enjoying the last throws of her spell over us.

Sitting under our porch watching the trees sway in the warm breeze being teased by rain drops carried by the low floating clouds. Blue skies high above so high and out of reach, come back sunshine and blow these wet damp clouds away.

June has come around so soon with flowers all around making such a gentle sound swaying in the warm summer breeze, make you feel all at ease.

I love taking time out to enjoy the soothing sounds of nature and fill my eyes with calming colours and wonderful sights.

I don’t know about you, but March moved along pretty fast. The lambs are getting bigger, the buds are showing face all around and the flowers are cheery as ever.

I had a busy month at the work bench, which is always good news for a business. Also, new vase designs, new vase sizes, and vibrant colour palettes. I am now working on some window panels, which I always enjoy.

It has been invigorating to get back out on the mountain bikes. This warmer weather is most welcome, and after our lazy winter, it feels great to be getting fit again.

And so, as our shadows grow tall, let the fun continue at work and play. Goodbye March, it has been fun.
