Trish_M

Hi!

I'm Tricia Mason (Nee Neale) and I am happy being a wife and a mum-of-three. I am close to my family and I enjoy researching my family history. I am fascinated by the 'deep' genealogy that can be researched via DNA investigation.

I enjoy reading, writing, studying, learning, discussing, etc. etc. Also I enjoy travel ~ going on interesting holidays and taking photographs. It's great when those two go together and I can take pictures of castles, churches, beautiful scenery, local architecture, flora & fauna, etc.

My BA degree and my PGCE teaching certificates are in history. (I also have a City and Guilds teaching Certificate in Adult Education.)

I like pretty much anything connected to matters historical and I am also interested in matters theological (though I am agnostic) ~ and even matters scientific!!

I like languages ~ I enjoy learning them, using them, discovering how they develop, etc. I like to find out about word origins, including name origins ~ especially place-names. This, of course, fits in with the 'history'.

I am actually interested in lots of things. :)

'Literary' Hubs

In my 'literary' hubs I have written about Shakespeare, Chaucer and other poets, as well as prose authors such as Michael Frayn, Charlotte Bronte and Jean Rhys.

There is also a hub on 'The Clan of the Cave Bear' series (Earth's Children) by Jean Auel and one on the popular children's book: 'The Gruffalo'.

English Language

Do you understand apostrophe use? Do you confuse 'then' and 'than'? Do you ever write 'etc' incorrectly? Take a look at these hubs! :)

Entertainment

I have written about the 'Bollywood;' film: 'Om Shanti Om' and also about various videos of Shakespeare's 'Hamlet'.

I have also submitted hubs on Andre Rieu and on 'The X Factor'!

History Hubs

My history hubs concern the religious history of Spain and the place names of the USA, for example. Also family history, of course!

Genealogy

I have written about interviews for family history and about my personal collection of genealogy books.

Evolution Hubs

A fascinating, if somewhat controversial, subject ~ I have certainly enjoyed researching, writing and discussing my hubs on the subject.

Religion

There is something of a 'cross over', here, as my 'evolution' hubs definitely concern religious belief.

I have an article on 'Lucifer', one on Venus and one on the slaughter of the Amalekite babies ~ also a hub on James Tabor's book 'The Jesus Dynasty'. Also some items on saints.

Creative Writing

So far I have submitted only one fiction hub: 'Will and Ted' ~ which has a 'Shakespeare' connection!

Travel

I have written about some of the places that I have visited and also about some tempting travel guide books.

Best Buy Hubs

I have also written about some of my 'best buys'. :)

This is where I discuss items that I have found useful over the years, which may interest other readers.

And always planning the next offering!

Tricia Mason :)
