There may actually be some real snow in my future. This will have to do for now.

March on Republic Day, 29 October.

Well, it’s that time of year again— our merry band of crazy NaNoWriMo participants is heading out of the starting gate, either with a bang or… not. As usual, I’ll be participating, and as usual, my novel has an element of the supernatural in it.
Why the candle? It’s part of my writing ritual. It keeps my creativity burning or something. Whatever, it works for me.
Best wishes to all the participating novelists! Let’s nail this thing.





A happy day to all who are celebrating.

The parade for the closing day of the annual Golden Orange Film Festival, the largest and most important film festival in Turkey.



There were a lot of celebrities there, but my favourite part was the silver people. So dreamy.

I’d never seen a lunar eclipse before, and this was a spectacular one. It was the longest lunar eclips in the last century, and we were so lucky to be in the totality zone.

Okay, no, it wasn’t really a smackdown, but we did have a little get-together over the weekend to play some mahjong and eat some dessert.

We had so much fun, we’ve decided to make it a regular thing.

Fun for all ages.

There’s an 800-strong army of tango enthusiasts in Antalya. They meet several nights per week.

Night quickly becomes early morning.

When Rita is on the floor, people take notice.
