Yes, the date is the title for a reason. It's the date of the 'Badness by the Bushlands' Ngaio Marsh event at Upper Hutt central library. I haven't done a Ngaio event for a few years. Many reasons - mostly because I was away when they were scheduled or they were too hard for me … Continue reading Saturday, May 18th

Legendary
Quite liking the latest single from Bon Jovi. 🙂 Yes, I will add a Spotify link at the end of this post. How are ya?

Do you believe in magic?
There is a kind of magic that happens when I'm writing. Words appear on the page and they make sense, if that isn't magic I don't know what is. 🙂 I'm getting ready for the launch of [Foxtrot Mike Lima], you might've read something about that, there are a few things that I need to … Continue reading Do you believe in magic?
There’s a warm wind blowing …
We are one-step closer to the physical launch of [Foxtrot Mike Lima]. Would've been nicer if the courier hadn't jammed a parcel that really was a bit big, rigid, and hard to grab into the letterbox. Instructions were clear on the bag "Leave by front door" ... had a feeling they'd take the easy road … Continue reading There’s a warm wind blowing …

I thought I heard a tui yesterday and thought the flowers would open soon. The next birds to visit the camellia will be the korimako. Korimako are … Continue reading The first flower

What do these have in common?
Is it a trick question?Probably, well, if you know anything about the Ellie Conway FBI-Byte Series then it's definitely a trick question. 🙂 I decided to finish the last thing on my list before April 2nd. So I did.It involved all of these:Quad EspressoAll I Wanted was YouEvery Beat of my HeartI Just Want to … Continue reading What do these have in common?
Crash into Me:
Yes, the blog title is a song. I was scrolling through the playlist for Cryptobyte and Crash into Me got me thinking. We all know that 'every contact leaves a trace', right? That's the underpinning for forensic science. ('Every contact leaves a trace' is also known as 'Locard's exchange principle'.)You don't have to physically crash … Continue reading Crash into Me:
