WELCOME! THIS IS ME…

And this is my blog…

18 straight whiskies is what Dylan Thomas claimed he'd just drunk shortly before he collapsed and died in Greenwich Village. He was 39. He did not get the chance to rage, rage against the dying of the light.

I have never drunk 18 straight whiskies, but like most people I have enough demons to understand why someone might, many of which I will share in this blog as I write about working, writing and womanhood from my bases in London, Glasgow and (less frequently than I'd like) New York.
