This morning is a clear blue sky autumn day. The kind I love. Crisp and beautiful. I’m sitting having a coffee with a Birman in my lap. She’s making typing difficult and she doesn’t care. There are worse problems to have.
Last night was spent with friends. Laughing. Drinking a little bit. Eating delicious corned beef.
Yesterday I managed to get a start on a chapter in [FFS] that I kinda knew I needed (weeks ago) but for whatever reason didn’t write. Anywho, I made a fairly good start on it yesterday. I also had to remember which FBI-Byte book had the Iverson brothers in it and what Chris’s wife was called. I could not remember, and not for the first time I realised that I should’ve consolidated my notes from ALL the books into something I could actually reference when needed. I have not. I do have ALL the notebooks – but bloody hell that’s a lot of notebooks so they sit in a huge plastic tub (with a lid) and will probably never see the light of day again.
I do, however, keep all the eBooks and all the final files on my MacBook so I can search them when needed. I needed to do that yesterday.
It was Metabyte (book 9, it launched in 2017). Mitch Iverson’s sister-in-law is Susan. The next thing I needed to know was about Mitch’s twins. How old would they be now?
Luckily I was at Robbies because she’s like a walking encyclopaedia of my latest series. So handy! They would be coming up on 9 now.
(9 year old twin girls. God help Mitch.)
Armed with those tidbits of knowledge I got back to writing a Mitch chapter. It’s been a minute since we’ve heard from Mitch. Quite fun to write him again.
Anywho, this was going to be a post about the contest I’m running!!

Yeah, it’s always good to have a series bible or something to keep track of all of the characters and what happens to them. Readers remember things like that, and it is off-putting when the author doesn’t get things right, especially about series regulars. I’m interested in what’s going on with Mitch and the twins…
Funnily enough I have a series bible for the VT Series – with word choices and whatnot, and very brief descriptions. But I never had one for the FBI-Byte Series and the only time I needed one for that series was over Lee’s eye colour! Maybe my brain was better at storing all the facts and characters back then. 🙂
And here’s the question … do you have series bibles for your series?
I do have notes (wouldn’t call them bibles), and I have the texts of my novels, so I can usually find what I need. And, of course, I don’t have nearly as many books written as you do!
