Colleen’s prompt words this week Fire and Rain are quite tricky… wonder how to approach this. I might as well confess what my new job is… I was a lingerie stylist at Rigby and Peller but unfortunately my maternity leave contract came to an end and that left me with no job. Sigh. Initially, it seemed the obvious choice to apply to other lingerie shops, as I had experience. I did get some interviews but no offers. So I decided to apply to Ann Summers… and got the job! I can tell you it’s the most unusual job I’ve ever had. I reckon it will give me a lot of writing material! Enough said. 🙂
Hi.
Welcome to my blog: M J Mallon - Kyrosmagica Publishing. A blog about magic, books, writing, laughter, and much more! I'm a debut writer, my first YA fantasy novel The Curse of Time - Book 1 - Bloodstone is set in Cambridge. I write book reviews on my blog and on Goodreads. I have a penchant for travel and have relatives in far flung places, Australia, Malaysia, and Singapore, (my birthplace.) I grew up in in Bonnie Scotland, in Edinburgh, and now live in Cambridge. I love sunny, hot places, particularly Rome, Venice, Portugal, Barcelona, and I forgot to mention the sun drenched beaches of the Caribbean, how could I? I am lucky to have been blessed with two lovely daughters and a husband who I fondly refer to in this blog as my black sheep. Family joke! With my passion for travel, culture, beautiful beaches, good food, books, theatre, writing, and humour, I hope to keep you entertained. I'm loving every minute of this creative journey, please join me.

Haha 😉 Love that you turned your work experience into a fun poem. I used to work at La Senza, which is a lingerie store in Canada. Interesting stories indeed!
LOL-loved it! I’ve never even been IN an Anne Summers shop…but congratulations, I bet you’ll be fab! 🙂
Ha ha! I hope so… it’s definitely different.
Plenty of scope for material…!
That’s for sure! Perhaps I should be jotting it all down daily. 🙂
Definitely…I might be bold enough to venture into the one here!!
Why not! Just bear in mind some of it is pretty fifty shades… when I told my mum about the job she said she’s been! And we had a giggle about it.
LOL!!! I’ve never even read that either…!!
I started it but wasn’t too impressed! You’re not missing much.
It must have something going for it…look at all the money AND a film !!
Yes that’s true! Ha ha… perhaps I should read it again and see where I’m going wrong)!
Awesome job! I knew people that did that must exist, but I have never talked to one before! My word, indeed what stories you will be able to tell..
Yes I reckon it’s the kind of place you hear a story every day!
Looking forward to it 😀
