How's that for a blog post title? 🙂 Yesterday, after I went and picked my new reading glasses and prescription sunglasses, I decided to mess around with taglines and the Veronica Tracey Spy/PI Series. The intent was to create some new graphics. I did that. I did 3 per book and then McWristy and stupid … Continue reading In the shadows of foreign intelligence, every choice is deadly.

Maybe 2k, maybe more.
In an effort to not think about the new normal I have jumped into writing [Echo Mike Papa]. It was not my intention to start another story while [Foxtrot Foxtrot Sierra] is with my editor. But I did. I did and it's fun. It's escapism. In a few weeks My Knight will be home and … Continue reading Maybe 2k, maybe more.
There’s notes and more notes!
Not so long ago, I decided to revamp my teaching text. And I quickly realised I'd left things out that needed to be in. Oops. It's not the end of the world. Most of the missing information became class notes and handouts. Easy peasy. I spent some time over the weekend and all Monday morning … Continue reading There’s notes and more notes!
And on it goes …
I had to check the day and date four times this morning and I'm still not sure what day it is! I know it's Nicky's birthday, so I know it's the 14th of August. Day? Yesterday I thought it was Tuesday so that's probably causing the confusion. Well, that, and a migraine. There's been an … Continue reading And on it goes …
I swear it’s true …
I'm filling out subsidy paperwork for Superman. There's a lot of paperwork. There's a lot of stuff that I've never come across before - it's a learning curve. Our new normal took a sharp twist late yesterday afternoon. I had a phone call from the care home. Superman needed to talk to me. Awesome. I … Continue reading I swear it’s true …
Notes
The last week or so has been all about notes. My notes. I've been coming up with different ways to teach the same subject. Fresher text. It was time. Or I'm procrastinating like the pro I am. It was time to tackle tired text and revamp it. Tidy it all up a bit, make it … Continue reading Notes
And then …
The last two days were spent revising my teaching textbook and the workbook that goes with the crime writing course I teach. A minimum of 16 hours went into doing that. Everything is shiny and new. New formatting, new covers, new titles, new ISBNs, revamped content, and some new content.I have ordered myself a copy … Continue reading And then …
I’m twitchy
My eyelid is twitchy. I know what it is. It's stress. It's happened before, a couple of times. Once upon a time the mere mention of the Frau would start my eye a twitching. She's long gone from our vicinity, thankfully. This twitch is because the last three weeks have been crazy stressful. They may … Continue reading I’m twitchy

This will never do.
Yesterday I got through a bunch of edits and suggestions from Margot Kinberg (my much trusted friend). [Foxtrot Foxtrot Sierra] is all the better for it. One of the changes was allowing Nana her voice. Every now and then there are third POV chapters in this series, usually when I don't want to share too … Continue reading This will never do.
