About Me

Jo
I came to live in South West France in 2001. Since then I've been trying to communicate and integrate. The truth is I spend rather more time prevaricating and pontificating. Hence this blog. Prevarication is the curse of the writer, so anything that drags me away from my enforced discipline of 2,000 words a day is a bonus.....for me anyway. For personal finances, not so great. To keep the wolf from the door I write travel articles for websites which I sell through www.constant-content.com under the pen-name Libera. This doesn't give me much time for what I call 'proper writing'.... fiction. I've an almost- finished novel set in France during the German occupation, and a just-started detective novel set in the fens of East Anglia. All I need is more hours in the day !
