Digital marketers?
They seem to be the vacuum cleaner salesmen of the publishing industry. If you don't know what kind of person used to sell vacuum cleaners think car sales person on steroids. They play on insecurities and convince people they need whatever the fuck they are selling and generally whatever it is bears a hefty price … Continue reading Digital marketers?
Real Life
The title is a Bon Jovi song. If you haven't heard it then have a listen. I'll put a link to the Terrorbyte Spotify playlist at the end of this post. (Real life is in that playlist.) Last night I went back to the collection of 'western' crime stories I've been reading. There is a … Continue reading Real Life
Sometimes writing is a lot of fun.
If you've been here longer than two minutes then you'll know who Emily is (perhaps?) anyway, moving along, Emily Jones is a character in the Veronica Tracey Spy/PI Series. She enters in Book 2 [Lure the Lie]. As the series progresses she grows like any good character should. I like Emily as a character and … Continue reading Sometimes writing is a lot of fun.
Old Time Rock & Roll
This is one of those 'if you know you know' blog titles. Could've been 'Against the Wind' but not today. Anywho, a lot of words happening at the moment. [IRL] is moving quite quickly but still too slow for my liking. It's that annoying thing ... I can see it and want to write it … Continue reading Old Time Rock & Roll

The joy of knowing the hard part is done and the fun is still to come. I love that. I … Continue reading To write or to have written.

Scene of the Crime.
Scene of the Crime launched today. It's a marvellous story written by my wonderful friend Margot Kinberg. Scene of the Crime is a Joel Williams mystery. I very much enjoyed reading it and will be off to read the finished/shiny/brand new version today. (Perfect timing: My Knight and I are grounded due to having really … Continue reading Scene of the Crime.
Humdinger
Edited!How fab is the word 'humdinger'? I think we should use it more often. Yesterday The Big Thrill zine came out and featured a recommendation for [Foxtrot Mike Lima]. How cool is that? (Just click the link have a read then pop back and tell me what you think!) I'm delighted. Writing [FML] felt like … Continue reading Humdinger
