About me

Creativity is my life-blood. My passions are choral music and writing, and if I can combine the two, so much the better. With a piano in the kitchen, it’s not unknown for me to combine a bit of practice with cooking meals for my schoolteacher husband and two teenage children. Maybe an aga-saga will be next, following recent publication of my memoir. I have an appetite for tasty metaphors and I’m a stickler for correct spelling and grammar – so if you find an erroneous apostrophe in my work, please let me know!

The descriptions of musical terminology was impressive and I enjoyed hearing about your busy year with the choir. Also, the reference to melismatic towards the end of the book was wonderful; I enjoy the melismatic in music. In fact, it's possible for a piano player to give the impression of playing melisma in Bach fugues! From very early on, I was impressed at the professional approach you took to the choir's activities, along with your Music Theory Grade Examination and your piano playing, and what you wrotecertainly made me value my own training in these subjects. Excellent account. Best wishes, Lawrence (more)

Knowing all of our time is precious, would it be possible you leave a short review regarding Mystery, Deceit and a School Inspector? I'd love to know what you thought (as another reader and writer on CN) of the excerpts of the book. Best Regards Bryony (more)
