Only time will tell. I very much hope I am because I LOVE LOVE teaching crime writing. It's right up there as one of my favourite things. And that reminds me I want to go through my text book (because I made myself one so I didn't have to carry bundles of notes), and tweak … Continue reading Am I teaching this month?

What the actual fuck Elly/Ellie Conway!
The more things change the more they stay the same springs to mind. Today has been trying to say the least. I am livid but trying not to be because I don't have proof and haven't read the offending book yet. I will be reading it when it arrives on Tuesday. It cost me $38 … Continue reading What the actual fuck Elly/Ellie Conway!
Long skirts …
I know, that is an odd title. Might just be because I'm wearing a long summery skirt or there could be more to it. It's summer here. Shorts are called for most of the time. For years I've worn cut-offs and not summer shorts and it is way too humid these days for denim. Usually … Continue reading Long skirts …
Paperbacks?
I have my stock back from Writers Plot Bookshop and that means I have a certain number of the Byte Series novels (Ellie Conway) and a few Veronica Tracey Spy/PI (Ronnie Tracey) books on hand. Thing is they are surplus to requirements. In other words, I already have two of all the Byte Series books … Continue reading Paperbacks?

Another year rolled around. My cards were frighteningly positive. Not a blip to be seen. Not quite sure what to make of that. So I'll leave it alone.(Clearly they weren't talking about my wrist. It decided to rock in with a 9/10 on the pain scale. So that's fun, said no one fucking ever. It's … Continue reading Jan 1st, 2024
Sometimes it gets to me:
Bit of a rant because I feel like I'm being stomped over and it is not pleasant.It would be nice to end the year with sales!I've given away more books than I've sold in the last few months. That's not sustainable in any shape or form. I think next year will be a year of … Continue reading Sometimes it gets to me:
Edits = author fun
Traditionally I turn edits around quickly and this time is no exception. My lovely editor sent the first round of edits yesterday arvo (Boxing Day). I didn't even mean to get stuck in, I was just having a look. A marked-up document is irresistible to me. They're done. That's how I operate. It's been a … Continue reading Edits = author fun
