For The Writer
As a writer I am always on the hunt for that thing that’ll help me write better, anything but sitting down to putting pen to paper or tapping the keyboard as it were therefore this is a finely curated list of items for the writer. The Writers’ Backpack Lugging manuscripts is tiring work and I…

FOR HER & HIM
For the people who make a difference be it husband, father, brother, sister, mother, neighbour, cousin’s friends third cousin, as humans we are fortunate enough to meet people who imprint on us as we orbit life; people in and out of the orbit and those who tarry a little longer, for a spell, a season…
