I am quite an active blogger I run a fair few blogs online.

You will find all my latest writing news here: cordeliamaltherezonezin.blogspot.co.uk

The blog works like a magazine of my endeavours, works in progress and projects.

This is where nuggets and trivia about my characters are released but also where titbits of chapters, passages are flashed to fans much before publication of the story they belong to.

You are welcome to dig a little more into my blogging life which is in essence for me some sort of diary.

From sharing my efforts as a keen amateur gardener to the successes of the foodie I am, passing by my very human rants, my blogs are quite varied. Some are only available past midnight to disappear again a couple of hours later. Some are fully public and available.

Here is a couple of many blogs address: http://lamaisondecordelia.blogspot.co.uk/

Cordy's Blog

22/07/2021: Right I am not Novalis by all means, but I will do a little entry for today. I haven't been well for a few years. I have been in and out of hospital a fair few times, too many times for my liking because, I hate needles and I don't like the sight of blood. It didn't stop me from writing however for I have six complete novels to publish as I speak. But I love designing my covers which are then finished off by the excellent Andy Andreou. My dilema is that I messed up my left hand, the little finger metacarpal and drawing has been a challenge for me of late. So the covers are delaying publications at the moment.

I must confess that I am mobility challenged since the 16 of February last year after what I will call an heart episode. It felt like waking up from a bad spell and then you can't move properly ever again. It is a sheer lack of coordination for my legs. I fall a lot and sometimes badly, hence lots of trips to hospital.  However with a walking frame and a walking stick, I can still function. Sometimes it is hard, sometimes I can cope. I am fiercely independant and the loss of my full motricity did take its toll somehow. One can say, and forgive the pun, having ups and downs...

However writing is as much as a walking stick for me as a real one. I finished the third instalment of the Wilton Town Spooky Tales, 'When the Angels go marchin' in Wilton Town'. It is a large novel I am afraid which I had the great pleasure to write for more than an entire year. I closed the fourth novel of the Spooky Tales recently, 'The Island of the Lost Children'. And I started the fifth instalment of that saga. 

In each books there is an undertone, just a little note of what I really do like in life. For the third novel, some may recognise lines from songs dispersed throughout. For the fourth novel, there is a lot of my love of cooking and food. However, because I am unwell, have difficulty to swallow and eat, this undertone was a let out of what I could no longer enjoy properly. I wrote about the things I used to enjoy but can hardly do so now. It was a little let go of my plight.

For the fifth which I have started, I will let you guess the little undertone later.

Anyhow, I had a busy morning, starting with a CT scan which went alright and I did behave and didn't shout when the needle was inserted. 

Back home, I had a little spot on the radio LBC for a little niggling question I had in my mind: When did the expression 'What's the beef' was created? I don't know about its origin. James O'Brien was great to put it on.

Then I worked on my scheme to help Watford General Hospital for the patients, their relatives and mainly their overworked Medical staff to have a green seating area to relax and take the pressure out of their minds if for just five minutes. I want them to have a place to breathe a little. The NHS staff work tremendously hard to help us all and we should give them lots of love back. We will see what would come from that small venture to give them a thank that means. I sent a letter to the queen and started a petition.
